Knapps Peak (631m) is situated to the south of Boonah. The peak provides sweeping panoramas of Mt. Maroon and the Scenic Rim. The massive rock buttresses of Mt. Maroon loom quite close, neatly framed on either side by Mts. Lindesay and Barney.

It is not really a hard walk, but it is off track. You start out walking over undulating farmland, until you reach the mountain proper. You ascend a ridge and go up through light vegetation, sometimes over scree (loose stones) and the occasional rocky bits. There are rest spots and the occasional lookout.

If you are not doing anything much over the weekend and want to get away from the crowds, come along and enjoy the day.
