A delightful stroll beside Magdala Creek along a fern-lined path leads to the picturesque Lawson Lookout.

The walking trail remains predominantly at ground level, featuring a few sizable steps in the final stretch leading to the lookout. The distance to Lawson Lookout is approximately 800 meters one way, resulting in a 1.6-kilometer round trip when we walk back.
