Dove Lake Circuit
Well-maintained paths leading up to the Cradle Mountain encircle Dove Lake Circuit, home to a variety of native wildlife, including wombats, anteaters, and pademelons (small marsupials). The habitat includes unique native plants, such as the Tasmanian deciduous beach, tussock grasses, snow gums, and pencil pines. Formed by glaciation, this lake is now part of the protected Heritage Wilderness Area, which you can visit at the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. You can stroll around the lake on your own or join a long guided walk, such as the six-day Overland Track to the southern edge of this wilderness. Remember to bring waterproof clothes, as it rains almost 300 days a year in this area. Plan trip to Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park with our itinerary maker to find out where to go and what to do.

Great walk around the lake. Beautiful surroundings in a peaceful setting. One not to be missed. However don't be fooled by the easy label of this walk. It is probably easier than the higher walks...

an amazing place to spend time in cradle mountain! as of jan 2023 they opened up a new viewing shelter here as well. so it’s handicapped accessible from when you get dropped off by the shuttle all the way through the viewing shelter and down to the lake. it allows for shelter when the weather turns instantly from sunny to hailing. otherwise, the circuit around the lake is nice or kayaking on the water is also fun!
