Great little hike, which doesn’t take long but is steep. Recommend good footwear due to loose rocks. To find the start of the track drive to end of Picnic Street and you’ll see it. The sunset is amazing from the top. Well worthwhile.
Great viewing point, well worth the hike. Starts from end of picknick street
Beautiful views of the island, worth the climb! The beginning of the track is on picnic Bay and not on the road between picnic bay and Base Backpackers. We didn't realise that and wasted some time looking for it.
Easy enough reasonably short walk with sensational views
Nice 360 lookout
Nice walk and great view
Magnetic Island in North Queensland has many hiking and walking trails. A major portion of the Island is declared National park which preserves it in a pristine condition. The track is accessed via the eastern end of Picnic street. This trail is a short walk which is easily managed even with children in tow. Around 30 minutes of walking will reward you with spectacular views over Rocky Bay, Picnic Bay and across to the mainland city of Townsville. A perfect short walk for those with moderate fitness levels. A fenced lookout at the top provides a safe area for children and adults to enjoy the beautiful views. The trail is clean and will worn with only mild difficulty the whole length. In the winter months it's possible to see whales migrating north across the bay. As with most of North Queensland this walk is best done in the cooler months. The summer heat could easily overcome travellers who aren't used to our summer heat and humidity so take lots of water with you on the walk. Wildlife along the trail can include Koalas so keep an eye out for these shy Australian Marsupials. There are some areas of the walk that may prove difficult for some as you have to scramble across a few rocks. But with care these should not be a problem for most people.
