At Lincoln’s Rock, the escarpment drops away beneath your feet, offering a jaw-dropping, unobstructed panorama of the Jamison Valley. On clear days, you can see all the way to Mount Solitary and beyond. The view is wide, wild, and feels almost endless.
With its west-facing orientation and sweeping cliffside views, Lincoln’s Rock is a magical place to watch the sun sink over the valley. Bring a camera or just soak in the golden light.
The surrounding area has several sandstone shelves and photo spots. Wander (carefully) along the edge to find the perfect viewpoint, but be mindful of sheer drops and strong winds.
Though there are no formal picnic tables, the rock platforms and grassy patches make for a scenic, rustic lunch spot. Just be sure to bring what you need — there are no shops or amenities here.
Keep an eye on the skies! The updrafts from the cliffs make this a popular launch zone for paragliders, and you might also spot wedge-tailed eagles soaring above the valley.
Beyond the main platform, a short trail leads to a small, bunker-like cave etched into the sandstone. There’s a second cave that sits further along the cliff line, accessible via a short but steep scramble. From inside, the cave’s opening perfectly frames the Jamison Valley. It’s a striking and lesser-known photo opportunity, though caution is essential due to uneven footing.
From Sydney, take the M4 and Great Western Highway toward Wentworth Falls. In town, turn onto Tableland Road, then follow Hordern Road to the end. There’s a small parking area right near the lookout entrance. From there, it’s a flat 2-minute walk.
Catch the Blue Mountains Line train to Wentworth Falls Station. From the station, it’s a 10-minute drive or 1-hour walk to the lookout. There are limited public transport links, so rideshare or a local taxi is your best bet.
It’s popular for photos, but there are no safety railings. Use caution and avoid going near the edge during high winds or rain.
Yes, dogs on leashes are permitted at the lookout, but there’s no fencing — so keep them close.
