The feature of this short and easy there-and-back walk is the idyllic Duckhole Lake. The 4.2km track, most of which is boardwalk, follows a stream through regrowth forest to the lake.
Lying within the Southwest National Park the delightfully tranquil lake is actually a flooded sinkhole. It is part of the extensive regional cave and karst system that includes Hastings Caves. The lake is a peaceful place to sit and listen to the birds and frogs while you have a picnic.
The track follows a late 19th century sawmill tramway for much of the way, and remnants of the tramway can be seen.
This walk is co-managed by Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service and Sustainable Timber Tasmania.
