A steady uphill walk through changing sub-tropical forests to an old forestry fire tower with 360 degree views over the area.
Getting there:
From Kenilworth travel south on the Maleny Kenilworth Road for 7km before turning right onto Booloumba Creek Road. Travel a further 5km along this road to the entrance of the park. From here on, the road is unsealed and you will need a High Clearance 4WD as there a number of creek crossings. After 1km you will reach the Day Use Area on the right, where you can park.
All the walks start from here, although they can be accessed from the three camping areas.

Route/Trail notes:
From the signs talking about the Great Walk, head up the stairs and follow the signs to the Mt Allan fire trail. It's a very well signed and defined path, so just follow it and the signs all the way. 700 metres from the top there is a small post at a fork in the path. Follow the fork up to the right and head to the fire tower at the top of the mountain. At the top, you can walk up the stairs to the 9 metre tower.
Return by the same route, or carry on to Summer Falls and back.
Permits/Costs:
None. There are various camping options within the park, that require you to buy a permit. See:
