CRADLE MOUNTAIN TASMANIA EASY WALKS

Cradle Mountain

The mountain is in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania. Surrounded by the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. Rising to a height of 1,545 metres (5,069 ft) above sea level, Cradle Mountain is the sixth-highest mountain in Tasmania, Australia. The National Park is one of Australia's most popular to visit and is very well known for its hiking and stunning views.

I drove daily from the town of Sheffield to Dove Lake car park Cradle Mountain in a Mustang GT. Spirited driving on the twisting roads. I don’t like heights but managed to hike Marions Lookout the highest point. Views are of Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake and other lakes.

Dove Lake Boardwalk

There is an easy walking track looping around Dove Lake. The track is mostly boarded flat walkway and passes beneath Cradle Mountain. This is an easy flat track walk of two hours. There is thick bush on one side of the boardwalk in front of Cradle Mountain and clear lake water on the boardwalk's other side. Walkers should take a waterproof jacket and bottled water with them. Expect cool conditions. There is often fog and wind. The Boatshed is on the track walk and was built in 1940.
