| Scenic Overlook |
 |
| Rising 80 feet above the highest point of the Welsh Mountains, the overlook provides
a 360-degree panoramic view of the Conestoga and Brandywine valleys.
A scenic overlook was opened in July 2001 to be used by the public as a
recreational area. The overlook area includes a picnic pavillion, a hitching post for horse drawn carriages and two binocular stations. Area residents have used the overlook for picnicing, bird watching, flying kites and radio-controlled gliders and viewing the surrounding countryside. The overlook is located on top of the closed area B site of the landfill and is open to the public from May through October on Sunday afternoons from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. Area B was used as a municipal waste landfill from 1991 until 2000, when it was closed and capped. |
| Overlook Enhancements |
 In 2002 we built another
pavillion with two more picnic tables and to add a bicycle rack at
the scenic overlook. A hiking trail around the perimeter of Lanchester is also in the planning
stages.
