To take in the best of the karri forest and the Warren River Valley, follow the trail to the spectacular Warren Lookout, a great photo vantage point. The view from the lookout to the Warren River is superb, and well worth the walk.
This spectacular lookout is accessible by car along the Heartbreak Trail or via a short walk from the Bicentennial Tree. At the lookout, you will find out interpretation panels about the river. It provides views over the often mist shrouded river below and a pleasant place for a picnic.
