One of the most beautiful national parks in Tasmania, the Cradle Mountain National Park offers breath-taking views of the surrounding areas from numerous hiking trails spread throughout the national park. These hiking trails range from a couple of hours to a couple of days, depending on how adventurous you want to be. The most popular is the hike from Dove Lake to Marion's Lookout and back, which takes about 5 to 6 hours and includes a few difficult places to navigate. The park incurs entrance fees, either per person or per vehicle if you purchase a 24 hour or a 60 day parks pass. The 60 day parks pass would be the most economical if you are planning on visiting multiple national parks in Tasmania.

Tumbling from a height of more than 100 meters, this is Tasmania's highest waterfall, which can only be reached by four-wheel drive or hike.

It’s an easy walk to the Falls, about 13 km return but mostly flat. We really took our time to admire the scenery on the way. The path is very muddy in places as there is water running across it. Hiking boots are recommended but we were ok with slightly wet feet in the end. The falls are impressive, the swing bridge is closed.

A decent 45 minute descent down to the falls with regular lookout spots along the way. Easy with children. Interesting fungi to look at on way down. Be prepared for the hike back up again- hard work carrying a 2 year old! Had a great bbq at the top in the car park and there is a 1 minute walk to a huge gym tree which is pretty good to see.

The walk to Russell Falls in the beautiful Mount Field NP, is an easy, short walk which can be enjoyed by everyone (elderly, young children, prams, wheelchairs etc). You can't help but breath a little deeper to take in the clean fresh air. Just a little further up from Russell Falls is the smaller Horseshoe Falls which is also worth a visit. It's an easy walk, but up stairs so not suited for everyone. There are other walks available for those with the time, fitness and bush walking experience. Staff are very helpful and friendly.
