The Leap
Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday
Menu
2.5km return walk taking you to The Leap Lookout with spectacular views over Mackay to the ocean. It's a short but intense out and back walk starting in rainforest along a creek line before transitioning to a unique grass-tree ecosystem as you arrive at the summit. It contains some very steep sections and requires a bit of rock scrambling, and can be quite slippery after rain. Plenty of markers to guide you to your destination.
Parking is minimal at the base - you may have to park down the street a little bit, or, alternatively, park at the pub and walk from there, and have a relaxing meal and drink when you finish.
Getting there
Park (limited parking) on Westlake Drive. The entrance to the track is between driveways at the end of the street.
