Very beautiful lake, swimming prohibited, but excellent spot for a bivouac - toilets, water, picnic shelter. Tranquility.

Noosa Trail Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

Looks fine on the map but for a laden touring bike... not appropriate. Mountain bikes would be fine

Steep Section Near Tablelands Road

Highlight • Trail

Had to walk bikes up which was pretty tough. Would probably have to walk bikes down if going the other way due to slippery gravel . Tablelands Road is much better option to get to lookout from Cooran.
