Koetong - Mount Lawson State Park

Mount Lawson State Park is known for its steep slopes, cliffs and prominent rocky bluff which impart a natural rugged beauty. The park contains a range of largely undisturbed natural environments. There are panoramic views of surrounding mountains and valleys from the summit of Mount Lawson and spectacular displays of wildflowers in spring.

Enjoy horse riding, scenic drives, a spot of fishing or a bushwalk. Visit the nearby historic trestle bridge off Firebrace Track which was once part of the Wodonga to Cudgewa Railway line.
