Well covered by trees and scrub, Mount Baga has an unsigned but marked walking trail to the peak.

Mount Baga holds a significance to the Darumbal Aboriginal people and its creation is told in a Dreaming legend: In the Dreamtime long ago, a boy and a girl from the tribe fell in love and wanted to marry.

The Rainbow Serpent (named Munda-Gadda in the local dialect), sitting up on Mount Gai-i (to the south-east) saw the dilemma and decided to intervene.

He spun himself around between the girl and boy with such force, bringing up trees and dirt until a mountain appeared separating the couple.

[2][3] For these reasons and to better reflect the importance of the mountain to the Darumbal people, the name was changed to Mount Baga.
