Arm River Track to Lake Ayr

[denzel]

Hey guys,

this is my first post so I apologise if it has been raised already! Some friend of mine and I decided to do the overland track, as we all should at some point. I am unable to join them for the first day due to work, but was talking to my old man who has done a truck load of walking and work in the Tasmanian bush and said there used to be a track running from Maggs Mountain down into Lake Ayr, but that it may have been let go now. Has anyone been there recently and know the condition of the track?
Cheers!

Daniel

The Arm River track is your best option to meet up with the Overland track at Pelion Hut.
There is another option, known as Maggs 17, but I haven't actually seen that track documented anywhere. I have used it and it is quite passable, though one section passes through an area of Sphagnum moss which was getting cut up a fair bit when I was there.

I agree with tasadam the Arm River Track is really the only way to access the OLT to Pelion in this instance for you at this time

Thanks! Nobody I know has been up there for a while, it's handy for some recent info.
