| Trails and the Derwent Estuary |
| The Derwent Estuary Program, with the support of local government bodies, conducted a forum in September 2010 to review trail developments in the southern region. As a result a Tracks and Paths Group has been established to coordinate initiatives in the region, with particular emphasis on round the estuary pathways and linkages to tracks and trails removed from waterfront settings, including the Tasmanian Trail. .......read more  |
| It is the only long distance multi-use trail in Tasmania. The route has been designed for those who enjoy soft adventure rather than hardened wilderness seekers. The experience provided by the Trail is recreational, cultural, historical and nature based. It often passes through or close to small towns, allowing travellers to visit local attractions while using as little or as much of the Trail as they like and to take advantage of local accommodation, hospitality and specialist services.  |
 It offers a variety of experiences for all - from the most enthusiastic long-distance traveller seeking a challenge to those interested in a shorter, more relaxing excursion. The Tasmanian Trail Association manages the Trail through a volunteer structure with the very active support of community groups, local government bodies and regional organisations. |
Because the Trail caters for bike riders and equestrians, it cannot traverse National Parks. It relies on support from Forestry Tasmania and other land managers and landowners for its pathway. This website has been developed to allow users and potential users to create interesting and challenging itineraries – The Tasmanian Trail Association believes the Trail should lead users to experiences and settings highlighting Tasmania’s unique natural environment. Visit the Tasmanian Trail map, view the regional maps featuring recommended attractions, obtain a Guidebook and try the Tasmanian Trail experience! |
Guidebook & keys
The Tasmanian Trail Guidebook gives users the information required to travel all, or part of, the Trail, divided into four sections to correspond with the location and nature of the land which it traverses. |
Several locked gates will be
encountered along the Trail and a key is available to users. Detail on where keys can be obtained can be found in the guidebook.  |
