Lake St. Clair National Park is a haven for hikers and nature lovers, with rich, diverse plant and animal life. It is home to the majestic King Billy pine, the oldest trees in the world of which have been standing for 2000 years, as well as Tasmanian devils and quolls. The looming Cradle Mountain stretches into the sky, its ragged peaks creating a dramatic silhouette that embodies the wildness of nature.

The park’s many hiking trails are catered to a wide range of visitors, from short walks through the magical thousand-year-old rainforests to a six-day hike down the Overland Track, a world-famous walk that passes through the heart of Cradle Mountain, all the way to the fathoms of Lake St. Clair, the deepest lake in the whole of Australia. At Lake St. Clair, you can hop aboard a lake cruise or enjoy scenic, leisurely strolls through forests and along the lakeside. For those interested in history, take the Aboriginal Cultural Walk to explore Cradle Valley and its surrounding areas, which still contain relics of Aboriginal life such as stone tools, rock shelters and caves.
