The view is amazing but due to the ongoing construction it's a bit messy for those with nice cars. Interested to see where the new one will be located.

As you make your way towards the area you’re going to second guess if you’re going the right way. It’s going to feel like you don’t belong on that road. Stay confident and make your way all the way down the road! You’ll see a left turn with a sign for the place and it’s a decent size gravel parking lot with benches right on the grass. Super fun place to bring the kids or self reflect! Bring some music, snacks, and hang out! Loved it! More than enough planes took off as we sat there. We were there for about 25 mins or so just to check it out and we saw at least 12 plans leave. It’s beautiful! Check it out.

They lock the gates at closing time but there is camping about 2 miles away at Fieldridge campground 7800 Wilkinson Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28214. I've never stayed there but is had a decent rating on Google.

When's the best time to go to see the most planes coming or going

Debbie Ellis | Sep 29, 2021
Benjamin Avant | Sep 29, 2021

Really anytime during the day but as previously stated, after noon time is busy. Try the flight radar app, shows you the active flights, destinations and more and helps you see where they are although the flights turn on their transponder close to take off.

What time do you need to be there for departing flights

Dan Young | Sep 30, 2017
Tina Burgess | Sep 30, 2017

If your are going to the overlook to watch them take off, all day. If you are referring to your actual flight, 2 hours ahead of time is recommended.
