Walks & waterfalls

Public walks and waterfalls

Public walks across the valley. Tracks are on public land run by Parks and Wildlife or Sustainable Timber Tasmania, so check conditions and any closures before you go. National parks, including Ben Lomond and Douglas-Apsley, need a current Parks pass.

• Tower Hill: East TowerAt 1,118 m, East Tower is central to the valley, with a near 360-degree view. A short, steep walk up the forestry road to the summit, with views of the fire lookout. The lookout itself isn't open to the public, and forestry roads can close during harvesting or fire season, so check with Sustainable Timber Tasmania before you go. Come in via Fingal and Mullens Road.Walk notes
