The Laurel Knob Overlook was originally called Licklog Ridge Overlook, a name that still appears frequently on Blue Ridge Parkway literature. The forest before you is the first tract of land ever purchased by the U. S. Forest Service back in 1911.
There is a very interesting dead tree near the parking lot, and this is one of the few times on the Blue Ridge Parkway where a tree can block part of the view and actually make it better.
