Enchanted Walk

1.5 km circuit

20 min to 45 min

Starting near the Interpretation Centre/Ranger Station on Cradle Mountain Road in Pencil Pine, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, the aptly named Enchanted Walk takes you on a lovely circuit though a magical old-growth rainforest alongside Pencil Pine Creek. Stroll along the cascading creek among graceful myrtle trees and ancient pencil pines, surrounded by flourishing lichen and moss. Along the western bank of the creek you will come across several wombat burrows just on the edge of the track. Around dusk and dawn, wombats can be spotted foraging these areas. The walk starts by taking you through buttongrass moorland on a mixture of paved pathway and metal mesh, before heading through cool temperate rainforest on a boardwalk along the edges of Pencil Pine Creek. This is a short walk on a mostly flat track, being suitable for all ages and fitness levels. On the way back, you can stop for a hearty meal at Peppers Lodge.

Dove Lake Circuit

5.8 km circuit

2 h to 3 h

Starting from the car park at the end of Dove Lake Road, Cradle Mountain-Lake Saint Clair National Park, this walk takes you around Dove Lake. This popular walk follows the perimeter of a glacially carved lake at the foot of Cradle Mountain, with excellent views of the surrounding peaks. Along the way you'll pass Glacier Rock Lookout, Ballroom Forest and the picturesque Dove Lake Boatshed. The trail is relatively flat and straightforward, consisting mainly of boardwalks, with some steep and rocky sections. The clockwise option involves climbing many steps towards the end. Due to its relatively lower altitude, this walk is usually a safer option when it's very windy and rainy at higher altitudes. Be prepared for strong winds, heavy rain, snow and very 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.
