Existing Overlook
Goodloe Byron Scenic Overlook overlooks the Monocacy
National Battlefield to the north and west and the City of Frederick
to the far north. The site consists of parking for passenger and
recreational vehicles and an overlook for visitors to take in the
views of the surrounding countryside. Commercial trucks are prohibited
at the facility.
Byron Overlook is located on northbound I-270 just
south of Monocacy National Battlefield. Picture shows site location
and aerial photo.
Planned Improvements
The planned improvements are for a self-sustaining
welcome center with rest room facilities that will serve two main
functions;
1. Provide information to travelers about the natural,
cultural and related resources in Western Maryland and
2. Showcase alternative energy, water supply and wastewater
treatment technologies, to educate the general public on energy
conservation.
