The natural beauty of Tasmania knows no bounds. The more you explore this island off the shores of Australia, the more you’ll be wowed by the many tiny wonders that it has in store. Its lakes fall under that category, and here are some of the very best that you should check out while in Tasmania.

Lake Saint Clair

This freshwater lake is a part of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park and it’s Australia’s deepest lake. Passionate hikers should make sure to check it out since it offers walking trails and amazing views.

Great Lake

One of the largest freshwater lakes in Australia, it features both a natural lake and a man-made reservoir. Despite its cold climate during the winter months, the nearby towns of Liaweenee and Miena are popular with tourists and locals looking for a fun adventure.

Lake Pedder

Lake Pedder used to be a glacial outwash lake before becoming a man-made reservoir, but that doesn’t make it any less amazing. It’s one of Tasmania’s largest lakes, best known for its rugged mountain surroundings and nearby hiking trails.

Dove Lake

Located near Cradle Mountain, inside the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Dove Lake is one of Tasmania’s most magical natural wonders, best known for its amazing mountain views and well-maintained walking trails.
