Marions Lookout
A ridge viewpoint at 1,223 m that overlooks Dove Lake, Crater Lake and the jagged peaks of Cradle Mountain. It is the classic panoramic spot on the mountain.
Marion's Lookout sits on a ridge north of Dove Lake. You can climb to it from the Dove Lake car park via Lake Lilla and Wombat Pool, or from Ronny Creek via Crater Lake. The final section is steep and has a chain to help you up. From the top, you can see Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain and, in the distance, Barn Bluff. A common route is a half-day loop: Dove Lake to the lookout, then Crater Lake and Ronny Creek. It takes about 3–4 hours and can be combined with the park shuttle bus. The summit is very windy, so turn back if the weather changes suddenly.
