Dove Lake Circuit

Cradle Mountain · TAS

A world-class walking track circling the mirror-still waters of Dove Lake beneath the jagged peaks of Cradle Mountain. The 6km circuit passes through ancient pencil pine forests, buttongrass moorlands, and glacial boulder fields. On calm mornings the mountain reflects perfectly in the lake creating an iconic Tasmanian image. Allow 2-3 hours and prepare for rapidly changing weather at any time of year.
