Douglas-Apsley National Park

Douglas-Apsley National Park is a 16,080-hectare national park in eastern Tasmania within the Glamorgan-Spring Bay municipality, north of Bicheno. Established in 1989, it protects one of Tasmania's few remaining undisturbed dry sclerophyll forests and the entire catchment of the Apsley River. Notable for its deep river gorge, permanent waterholes, eucalypt woodlands, and diverse birdlife, the park offers short walks and longer gorge hikes in a largely undeveloped natural setting.

Visitors can expect a largely undeveloped natural park centred on the Apsley River gorge and waterholes surrounded by dry eucalypt forest and woodland. The main visitor areas are the Apsley Waterhole and Apsley Gorge accessed via marked walking tracks from the Rosedale Road car park. Facilities are basic with natural tracks, information signs and toilets. Activities focus on bushwalking, swimming in the waterholes when water levels permit, birdwatching and photography in a quiet, forested river landscape.
