The short ridge-top walking track leading to the lookout offers additional breathtaking views, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility.
Visitors to Korora Lookout can also explore the surrounding Orara East State Forest through various walking tracks that showcase the beauty of the subtropical rainforest.
