The walk in is not quite as spectacular as other walks in the Budawangs but once Folly Point is reached, the vistas are breathtaking. Folly Point has a small camp site at the creek. This is an ideal mid-week walk for the solo bushwalker looking for isolation.

After following the driving instructions to the start of the walk, follow the well maintained fire trail for approximately 9 kilometres to the start of the Folly Point walking track. The fire trail is mostly flat, easy walking through open heath country.

At ENDRICK 491023 look for a rock cairn and the words "Folly Point" marked on a sloping slab of rock on the left of the fire trail. This will be just before a sharp turn to the right.

Follow the trail through the scrub following some tin markers. After approximately 2.5km you will arrive at Mitchell Lookout which offers views of Clyde Gorge. From here follow the track downhill and then ascend the other side. The track here can sometimes be easily lost as a few "wrong turns" over time have created false tracks. If you loose it, retrace your steps and try to pick up the track again from your last known point of reference.

A bit over a kilometre from the lookout and after traversing two hills you will reach a steep ravine. Care should be taken when descending/ascending. A fallen tree can provide some assistance but the best way is probably to zig-zag carefully down/up. Water is sometimes available here but don't rely on it in dry conditions.

Once at the bottom, make your way up the slope, negotiating your way through the trees to pick up the track at the top of the rise. From here the track is well defined but wet under foot as it winds and tunnels it's way through thick Hakea and Tea Tree dominated vegetation.

Eventually the track emerges onto Folly Point proper. Soon views of The Castle, Pigeon House Mountain and the Monolith Valley group of mountains begin to reveal themselves. As with most of the Budawangs, rock cairns will aid your navigation.

Continue south towards the point where you will eventually descend a rock slope and arrive at a small camp site at the base of the slope. This is an ideal overnight camp site for the solo bushwalker if you are fortunate enough to have the place to yourself. Running water is available in the creek.

If you are allowing three days for this walk, day two will allow you to fully explore this spectacular region along with relaxation time. A more detailed guide to exploring this area is outlined in Bushwalking in the Budawangs by Ron Doughton.

The return route to your vehicle is the reverse of the walk in.
