Located within Porters Pass Recreational Reserve, Fort Rock is a distinctive sandstone formation set just off the main track. A short detour leads you to a large, cave-like overhang framed by weathered rock, with filtered light and bushland surrounding it. It’s a quieter stop along the route, often missed by those heading straight through. The ground around the rock can be uneven, especially after rain, so watch your footing as you approach and move around the base.
