About Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is Tasmania's alpine heartland, with jagged dolerite peaks, glacial lakes and the Overland Track.

The park lies in the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, about 160 km north-west of Hobart in a straight line. At its northern end, Cradle Mountain rises to 1,545 metres above Dove Lake, where a path and boardwalk circle the water beneath the serrated peaks. At the southern end, Lake St Clair, the deepest freshwater lake in Australia, fills a glacial trough.
