60 Great Short Walks Tasmania

Discover 60 of Tasmania’s greatest short walks, from rainforest waterfalls and alpine lakes to coastal cliffs, mountain lookouts and peaceful family-friendly trails. Covering every region of the state, this collection is ideal for walkers seeking memorable Tasmanian scenery without committing to a full-day hike.

While every walk on this list offers something unique, several have earned iconic status among Tasmania’s most popular attractions. The spectacular Wineglass Bay Lookout in Freycinet National Park rewards walkers with one of Australia’s most photographed coastal views, while the easy stroll to Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park showcases one of Tasmania’s most beautiful waterfalls beneath towering tree ferns.

Elsewhere, you’ll discover equally memorable walks that are often a little quieter but no less impressive. Wander the dramatic sea cliffs of the Cape Tourville Lighthouse Walk, admire the striking rock formations of the Tessellated Pavement on the Tasman Peninsula, or take in sweeping coastal views from Archers Knob in Narawntapu National Park.
