Big Walker Lookout is
Virginia's oldest privately owned scenic attraction, and is located
in Wythe County in Southwest Virginia! At an elevation of 3,405 feet,
Big Walker Lookout
affords one of the most spectacular views of the Appalachian
Mountains to our visitors.
Looking out over the patterned farms of Virginia in one
direction and the untouched wilderness in another,
you'll find it hard to
believe that the views are real. As if the mountains' natural
height
weren't enough, Big Walker Lookout features an observation tower that puts you
another
100 feet higher. Climb above the treetops to enjoy a view beyond belief,
"Where only the Birds See More"!
We are a family owned and operated business, and have been serving
visitors here since 1947.
Now being operated by 2nd and 3rd generations of the Kime Family, we feel
that the visitors that come to Big Walker Lookout & the BW Country Store are
like
family, and we hope to continue that tradition, which has been going strong for
66 years!

on your way somewhere
else, or you're a local that lives just down the road, be sure to make
Big Walker Lookout & BW Country Store a
stop on your trip and let us make you a part of the family!!
