Overmill is a short, easy out-and-back hike in the Lee Ranger District of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest in West Virginia. The trail is about 0.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 523 feet, and it reaches a high point of about 3,120 feet. The climb is steepest near the start, with a grade of about 19% at about 0.2 miles in. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 72°F in May to about 76°F in September, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The hike takes about half an hour, and the trailhead is close to several other outings. Mill Mountain is about 0.2 miles away, and the Tuscarora - Pond Run Trail is about 0.1 miles off. Climbers can find the A-4 area about 4.7 miles away, and Wolf Gap campground is about 5.4 miles away.
