It is an amazing place to take pictures or walk the paths or even do a morning/evening jog on the paths. Its serene and has a beautiful view.

After parking it’s like a 5min walk to the lake, Great area to go swimming, and relax on a floaty. I recommend making a right once you hit the water and follow it another 5min down where you jump off some 10ft cliffs, if your into that kinda thing. The bottom of the lake is like solid rock so no gross mud.

A nice place for a quick walk. Theres place for fishing and a good walk. Nice place to sit down and watch the sun set. Closes at sundown. Easy to approach. Parking is limited closer to the trail but sufficient farther. Entry is free. Pets are allowed.

Beautiful sunsets on the horizon over the Texas Stone Quarry in the foreground. Kind of an interesting juxtaposition--still, well stop again. The dozens of cars pulling in for a view keep it family friendly :)

Signs say not to swim but people still do. Very limited parking maybe dozen or so. Free. No attendant. Deep deep water not as easy to get out and onto rock.

Great place for a short walk or a long hike. Trail wraps around the entire lake! There is a nice fishing pier not to far from the parking lot. Good place to sit back and relax or reflect if you enjoy nature. Knowledgeable park rangers at the office near by can answer your questions also.

Best time to go is in the morning before all the teens wake up and take over. Overall great place to hop in the water or go on a walk without entrance fees.

Great access to Goldwater loop once you figure it out, signs or a clearer map would help!

I always have a great time at the overlook. As long as you dont mind having zero shade and plenty of water it is the place to go.

Great place to unwind in Vancouver. Nice walking trails and you can see several of Washingtons largest peaks. Carry water or fill your canteen at the ranger station.

One of the great parks around Lake Georgetown. Overlook Park offers hiking, fishing, swimming ( this includes places where your dog can go swimming, too!) and sunbathing. Very pretty Park!

Great place to visit. Please watch for the occasional snake that may appear. Otherwise, enjoy. A great place for family fun.

Review №25

Very nice trails. Sheltered from a lot of direct sun. Nothing terribly difficult terrain- wise, do nice to get the family out. Water at some of the fountains were questionable, so recommend bringing your own

The park itself is nice enough, with interesting trails and over looks, and a few geocaching spots. But the womens bathroom was absolutely disgusting.

Its my hometown lake... I love it! Perfect for playing around on the boat, sitting on the rocks and some fishing.

This place has great lake access for fishing. There are also trails that go from one end of the lake to the other that start here. This lake is beautiful and really nice to use recreationally. There is no swimming area from this park but there is a lot to do here and you dont have to see people in their questionable bathing suits.

I love having all these different park accesses around lake Georgetown. This one has no camping only lake views and hike and bike trails. Tends to have more high school kids than some of the other parks but we were all young once.

Great time during memorial weekend there weren’t too many people and plenty of room to swim/lounge in the water! Worst thing is parking, VERY LIMITED, also DO NOT park in the tow away zones. They take it very seriously, buddy that came along parked in a tow away zone and they took it along with a bunch others
