Information

Lake St Clair was carved by glaciers and at 167 metres is the deepest natural lake in Australia. It is located at the southern end of the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park.

Walkers on the track either set out or complete their journey, that takes about eight days, at this point. Shorter walks are available in the Lake St Clair area. Walkers arrive or set out on their walk at the northern end of the lake. A ferry service supplies either the first or last link.
