There is a view here of the Tennessee River gorge. Across the river to the south you can see Raccoon Mountain, where the Tennessee Valley Authority operates a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station.

This viewpoint overlooks the Tennessee River and the Raccoon Mountain recreation area. Raccoon Mountain is home to singletrack trails, a paved path, and a large reservoir (Raccoon Lake). There are a few other great viewpoints on Pot Point Loop.
