Go into the Wild at Strathgordon

What are the best walks around Strathgordon?

There are a range of walking trails around Strathgordon exploring the region’s forests, rivers, lakes, and mountains. Before you go, read Tasmania Parks & Wildlife Service’s Essential Bushwalking Guide and watch the informative short video. Some walks remain closed following the early-2019 bushfires, so please check track opening and closures for updates. We’ve listed some of the open walks below.

• Take a deep breath and descend the steel mesh steps onto the Gordon Dam wall. The dam holds 30 times the water of Sydney Harbour, so take in the awe-inspiring view and appreciate the grandeur as you walk.
• Stroll along the boardwalk at Teds Beach (10 minutes return) for a different perspective on the vastness of Lake Pedder (and a glimpse towards the Frankland Mountains).
• The Creepy Crawly Nature Trail (20 minutes return) starts 10km down Scotts Peak Road. Follow the boardwalk through lush, temperate rainforest for an easy mix of tranquility and adventure.
• Walk the Twisted Sisters track loop
• Follow the Port Davey Track sign from the Huon Campground and enjoy a 1–2 hour return walk through beautiful forest, winding through an interesting mixture of moorland, scrub and rainforest. At the end of the forest (about 1 km along), turn around and head back.
• The Mount Wedge Track is open, and sits between Lake Pedder and Lake Gordon. The walk offers amazing views of surrounding wilderness, including the dramatic Sentinel Range (which you can conquer as a separate walk). The 5-hour return track starts from the Creepy Crawly Nature Walk circuit and becomes a steep climb to the summit.
• For the ultimate bucket-list experience, tackle the challenging multi-day Port Davey and South Coast tracks (very experienced, well prepared walkers only).
