Starting just off Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit via the Tall Trees Walk. The walk is on a well-constructed boardwalk throughout. There are plenty of informative signs along the way where you can learn more about the forest, and visitors have the opportunity to use a clinometer to calculate the height of these massive trees. Picnic facilities are located by the banks of the river, next to the Visitor Centre.

Starting from the carpark at the end of Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this circuit walk takes you around Lake Dobson via the Pandani Grove Nature Walk. The Pandani Grove is a delightful green oasis nestled beneath the ski slopes of Mount Field. Following the shoreline of the glacially formed Lake Dobson, this short walk takes you through a forest dominated by a mixture of pencil pines and pandanis, both of which are endemic to Tasmania. Platypuses are occasionally seen in Lake Dobson, particularly around dusk and dawn. The track has no steep sections, but ice and snow can cover sections of the track in winter.

Circuit
Walk
4 h to 6 h
Starting from the Mount Field East lower car park on Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this walk takes you past Mount Field East. The track initially climbs through tall snow gums, passing a side track to Beatties Tarn before reaching the beautiful Lake Nicholls, where a timber hut provides shelter from the weather. From there, the track climbs up the escarpment past Lake Raynor towards the base of Mount Field East. A scree slope leads to the summit, which offers panoramic views of Rodway Range, Mount Field West, Bushy Park and the Derwent Valley. The track continues along a boardwalk across Windy Moor, then descends towards Lake Fenton, passing a side track to Seagers Lookout near the end of the walk. Navigation is fairly easy on a clear day, but difficult in snowy conditions when visibility is poor. This is an exposed alpine walk, so be prepared for sudden changes in the weather and extremely cold temperatures. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the car park on Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this walk takes you to Lake Belton and Lake Belcher. Departing from Wombat Moor, this walk leads to two glacial lakes in one of the most beautiful areas of Mount Field, offering great views of the surrounding mountain ranges along the way. The track follows a boardwalk planking across open moorland and sub-alpine forest, passing near Mount Mawson before descending into the Humboldt Valley. At Lake Belcher, there's a timber hut where you can take shelter and spend the night. The track to Lake Belton isn't very well-defined, but it has some tape markers and isn't too hard to follow. You may also venture off track through the scrub to reach VC Falls, a series of cascades located on the outlet creek of Lake Belton. This is a challenging walk, suited to fit and experienced walkers, and is best attempted in summer. The track can be very wet and muddy, especially towards the end, so appropriate footwear is essential. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the car park at the end of Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this full day circuit walk traverses the spectacular Tarn Shelf. You’ll walk on boardwalks and natural surfaces, with some steep ascents and descents leading in and out of the Tarn Shelf.

Starting from the Lake Dobson car park at the end of Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this walk takes you to Mount Field West. Enjoy a challenging and rewarding walk to Mount Field West, which at 1434 metres is the highest peak in Mount Field and is often covered in snow. Leaving from Lake Dobson among snow gums and pandanis, the track passes over the rocky screes of the Rodway Range and descends over boulder fields to K Col, where a solid stone hut provides emergency shelter. The track continues along the ridge to Clemes Tarn, then steadily ascends to Naturalist Peak before crossing the plateau to the summit of Mount Field West, which offers spectacular views across the Florentine Valley and the mountain ranges of south-west Tasmania. This walk is subject to severe weather changes throughout the year and is best suited to experienced walkers with good navigation and map reading skills. An early start is recommended as it requires a full day to complete. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
