This little park immediately north of Crowdy Bay National Park and on the shores of Watson Taylor Lake is dominated by North Brother Mountain. A sealed road leads to the lookout at the top, which offers incredible views of the coast. Or you can try the challenging 3km Laurieton Track walk (one way) through blackbutt and eucalyptus forest to the summit.
