Nearby, Lake St Clair is Australia’s deepest freshwater lake and can be explored on a scenic cruise with spectacular views of southern mountain peaks.
Also nearby is Lake King William where you’ll find good trout fishing.
If a longer rest is required, the friendly local pub is a unique eating, drinking and sleeping spot and an iconic roadside attraction.
Derwent Bridge is approximately a 2.5 hour drive from Hobart, Launceston and Strahan.
Hikers have been visiting this scenic area in the heart of the heritage listed Tasmanian Wilderness area for decades, enjoying the day walks near the lake or the famed Overland Track. If you’re already carrying your own tent and sleeping gear, why not make a memorable camp nestled in the trees within short walking distance to the water’s edge. It is the ideal location for both campers and bushwalkers or for schools, clubs and family bookings. There are powered and unpowered sites for tents, caravans and small motorhomes.
Our Bunkhouse provides basic sleeping accommodation in keeping with the style of the rustic timber huts of the Overland track, enjoyed mostly by backpackers and hikers whose modest accommodation requirements can be met with a simple bed and heated shelter.
