Stop in for a picnic and spend an afternoon exploring Ben Nevis, a striking mountain within the Mount Cole State Forest which offers incredible views over the surrounding peaks, bushland and fields.

Easily accessed via a gravel road which travels right up to the summit. Travel along Buangor-Ben Nevis Road in Mount Cole and turn onto Mount Cole Road which leads into telephone E Track and then turn onto Ben Nevis Road.

The carpark is equipped with a picnic hut, tables, water tank and toilet so be sure to pack a picnic. The walk to the lookout from the carpark is a easy short 200 metre walk. There are some obstacles and uneven ground at the lookout and large drops and cliffs without guard rails so ensure you supervise children at all times.
