Lake St Clair — Attraction in Tasmania

Tassies wilderness.. Absolutley stunning 😍 i love lake St Clair The atmosphere at Lake St Clair is moody and ethereal – there’s an almost enchanted presence at this tranquil place. The Aboriginal name for Lake St Clair is leeawuleena, meaning ‘sleeping water’, and on still days you can truly appreciate the origins of this name.

Lake St Clair is part of the celebrated Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park – the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It is at Lake St Clair that Tasmania’s most iconic multi-day walk, the Overland Track, comes to an end. Over six days, bushwalkers on this renowned track traverse a diverse and spectacular landscape, finishing up at the lake’s edge.

In addition to the experiences to be had upon the lake, visitors can explore numerous walking trails throughout the park. A range of short and longer tracks meander off through ancient rainforests to alpine lakes or mountain summits. Regardless of which route you choose, you’ll find yourself submerged in Lake St Clair’s lavish wilderness

The environment around Lake St Clair is among Tasmania's most spectacular. Deep glacial lakes are fringed by dense forests of ancient pines, and the high mountains provide a dramatic backdrop. Native wildlife is abundant in the area – Bennett's wallabies and pademelons are easily spotted by visitors to the lake, and wombats, echidnas, quolls, and platypus are...

This is the first time I have visited Lake St Clair. It is 2 hour driving from Mole Creek. There are so many fantastic lakes, lookouts and huts on the Cradle Mountain track. I just spent one day hiking around the Shadow Lake, which takes me 5 hour for the whole loop. I would come back next time for a longer time for the new tracks discovery...

If you like loud, unfriendly, grotty people, great place to visit. The showers were cleaned daily and then left disgusting by the visitors. Dogs are allowed, but few follow the rules and keep them restrained. The lake is beautiful even in these drought ridden times. Would love to vudit again in off peak holiday times...
