Lake St Clair is at the southern end of the world famous Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park and is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
The Tasmanian Aboriginal people have a long and continuing association with the area and todays’ vegetation patterns show signs of thousands of years of Aboriginal burning practices.
Carved out by ice during several glaciations over the last two million years, this is the deepest freshwater lake in Australia (167 metres/ 547 feet) and the headwaters of the Derwent River.
The area around Lake St Clair offers a wealth of walks, ranging from leisurely 45 minutes strolls to overnight bushwalks, as well as beautiful forests to explore.
Lake St Clair is also the end point of the famous Overland Track, which runs from Cradle Mountain in the north to Cynthia Bay on the southern shore of Lake St Clair. Try fishing, boating or the ferry service travelling the 19kms length of the lake, and meet bushwalkers completing the Overland Track.
To help you make the most of your stay, information officers are available at the visitor centre seven days a week. They can advise you on what to do and where to go safely and assist with general enquiries.
