you will find a large number of bushwalking tracks.
Dove Lake is at the start of the Overland
Track, when completing the walk from North to South. The Overland Track covers a total
distance of 65 kilometres through the Tasmanian Wilderness World
Heritage Area. considerable upgrades to the track have made the
walk easier, and with modern outdoor equipment the overall trip
is now much more comfortable than in years gone by. However,
the walk demands considerable preparation and reasonably good
physical fitness given on average it takes five nights and six
days complete the Overland Track

Pine River. At night time nocturnal animals, including the Tasmanian
devil and possums, come to your accommodation to be fed. Pademelons
and Bennet's wallabies ar also common in the area.
