Mount Field National Park

Mount Field National Park is one of Tasmania's oldest national parks, located about 64 kilometres northwest of Hobart in the Derwent Valley. Established in 1916, it is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The park is notable for its diverse landscapes ranging from temperate rainforest with tall swamp gums and the tiered Russell Falls to alpine moorlands, glacial tarns and ski fields around Lake Dobson and Tarn Shelf.

Visitors can explore two distinct sections: the lower rainforest area with easy walking tracks to waterfalls including Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls among tall swamp gums and tree ferns, and the upper alpine area accessed via Lake Dobson Road featuring glacial lakes, Tarn Shelf, pandani groves and ski slopes in winter. The park offers visitor centre, picnic areas, short boardwalks and longer alpine hikes with interpretation on natural history.
