Cradle Mountain, Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park

One of the best preserved natural place to have the wonderful view of mountain peaks and walk around the lakes. You will experience the forest Walk when you go around the Nova lakh . Stunning views and landscapes.

Very pleasant day trip at Cradle Mountain. We did the Crater Lake walk which was relatively straightforward and easy. Some inclines and descents but nothing too strenuous. Great day trip if you are staying near Launceston. There is a 10-15m shuttle from the car park that takes you to various stop off points (visitor centre, etc) and ends at the Cradle Mountain hikes. After your hike you can shuttle back to the car park. Relatively busy but not too crazy even though we were there during the holidays. Once we got out on the hike it got much quieter too. Had our eyes out for wombats, unfortunately didn't see any, but still plenty of critters and birds around. It was quite a hot morning so I imagine most were seeking shade.

Absolutely stunning. Luckily had fantastic weather. Was only planning on doing the short walks, but 5 hours & two numb feet later, I was so stoked with how the day turned out. It's very easy to turn left instead of right and you are guaranteed to get rewarded for your efforts. The landscapes change in an instant. I saw all ages on the walks, but the steep parts ARE steep, with plenty of uneven ground. However, take your time, ask questions of the other hikers (always got some helpful info) and carry at least one big water bottle minimum. Purchase a park pass ($26 for an adult), leave your car at the visitor centre and catch the shuttle that's available at all the stops every 15 minutes. Also, I was lucky enough to see the quadfecta of animals; A wombat, echidna, snake (sleeping) and some wallabies. Definitely factor Cradle mountain in when visiting Tassie.

Short of words to express its beauty. This is most beautiful place i have ever been to. Top 1st place to visit in Tasmania

A sunny day and the stunning mountain welcomed with an open arms and clean fresh air! A gorgeous and breathtaking views all around you! A must see place when you visit Tasmania!
