You can see beautiful views from all sides at the Point at the Rivers. The high winds offer refuse from the summer heat, but hang on to your hat and hair or cover up. There are benches in the open and tucked away near the trees. Visitor Parking: Street parking in town is extremely limited and only available on a short-term basis for the businesses nearby. Harpers Ferry National Park parking lot offers daily parking at affordable rates. It is situated along Shoreline Dr., where you can park for $10-$15, depending on if you have a motorcycle or private vehicle. A guided shuttle bus will take you to the bus stop along Shenandoah St., where you can begin the scenic walk of Old Town Harpers Ferry into the modern town.

Existing as perhaps what is the most picturesque viewpoint in historic Harpers Ferry, The Point is an absolute stopping point for visitors. In addition to the converge of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers, the surrounding view of the town, two train lines, a widespread view of the surrounding mountains, and the monumental view of the Maryland Heights trail mountainside mountainside are also visible from this one standing point. Here, multiple signage are available to give further details regarding the convergence and town. Other tourist inclusions such as distance markers are also present.

The view from The Point is spectacular! It’s a great location to see the two rivers converging, and you can also see the mountains and the bridge to the Maryland Height all from this point. If you don’t want to do a strenuous hike, then taking pictures from this point should already be good enough. Not necessary to hike up to Maryland Height. (Follow me on IG ➡️ miss_dawang)

Beautiful place to see the confluence of the Potomac and Shanandoah Rivers. You can also see the effects of the train derailment that happened earlier last year. You can't hike to the other side of the river anymore through that trail which also aligns with the Appalachian Trail but you can still get nearby and you can always drive to the other side.

Beautiful place to enjoy a good view of the connecting rivers! The railroad runs pretty close and I didn’t know this at the time but the Appalachian Trail runs close! It’s definitely a historic area to see if you’re in the area!
