Pretty place to stop and see the overlook. Its a great rest area far enough off of the highway so that its more private & pleasant. Toilets: Ive been many times. It has been clean each time. There has always been someone around who works there and looks after it. Dog-friendliness: You could play fetch with the dog without danger of traffic roaring by. Also you could walk around for awhile with your dog on a leash. Picnic area: Nice covered picnic areas

Love s Lookout located near Jacksonville, Texas is a very nice, unexpected rest area. This rest area is very clean with some amazing views. On a clear day you can see over 30 miles. The story about this park is interesting. There is plenty of parking, picnic tables, very clean bathrooms, vending machines, lighting and security. Not to mention amazing views. You can see in my attached photos some of the beautiful scenery but it s not the same. We recommend stopping at this rest area to get out, walk around and if nothing else just to stretch your legs.

There is a really great 25 to 35 mile view across the hills of East Texas from this point just north of Jacksonville on the north bound side of Highway 69. It has changed since my last visit over 15 years ago! There are now a staffed visitor center and very clean restrooms here now, as well as a very nice park atmosphere around the overlook! There are great photo ops and an old Forest service Firetower that will make a great photo as well! Makes a really nice little place to take a break from your drive.
