Love love love this place! Cool breeze and amazing views + fun play park and really nice trails! There are also BBQ pits and really lovely plants and trees too! I just love the tranquillity of this place!
Google maps to Mount Archer NP will take you to someone’s private property! Save yourself 30 minutes of pointless travel… Look up ’Mount Archer Lookout’ and go the other way around. The lookout reviews shouldn’t be on the National Park’s Google location, it’s pretty confusing. Mount Archer is beautiful!
Mount archer is a beautiful place to enjoy the nature and the landscape in Rockhampton. The place is totally free of charge, all you need is your time and energy to walk around the place. Sunset is definitely a must at this place, so come around the evening time is ideal. The hiking trail is decent and suitable for most people. Toilet is available at the top of the park near the car park area. Beautiful place to visit

Mount Archer National Park in Rockhampton is a beloved destination for nature enthusiasts and families. Visitors rave about the cool breeze, amazing views, fun play park, lovely trails, BBQ pits, and beautiful plants and trees that create a tranquil atmosphere. While some caution against Google Maps directions leading to private property confusion, others highlight the free entry, ideal sunset viewing opportunities, decent hiking trails suitable for most visitors with available toilets at the top of the park. The Skywalk lookout near ample parking offers awe-inspiring panoramic scenery perfect for enjoying snacks or lunch. Families appreciate the easy-to-navigate trails even for younger kids and peaceful picnic spots away from crowds.

This search takes you to a dead end track in a State Forest There is nothing when you get there but a sign telling you that Google Maps is wrong

Mount Archer National Park is a breathtaking haven boasting an ample parking, and unisex toilets for visitors' comfort. The highlight, the Skywalk lookout, is just a brief stroll from the parking lot, offering awe-inspiring views. It's the perfect spot to savor a snack or lunch while taking in the stunning panoramic scenery.
