Evans Lookout sits at the end of a short sealed road out of Blackheath and looks over the Grose Valley and Govetts Leap. There are a few short walks, including the Fortress Ridge route. It is a calmer alternative to the big tourist stops.

Good to know

  • Combine it with Govetts Leap and Pulpit Rock in one loop
  • Bring a jacket, it is exposed and windy
