Drawing thousands of visitors every year, Cradle Mountain is one of Tasmanias most recognisable landmarks. Many different walking trails can be accessed throughout the area. One of the most popular treks, the Overland Track takes in beautiful waterfalls, ancient rainforests, streams, plunging gorges, open moorlands, and magnificent views of Cradle Mountain itself. Trails to the summit of Cradle Mountain are also very popular, however the breathtaking view across Dove Lake to Cradle Mountain is a must see, and one of Tasmanias natural highlights.
Cradle Mountain was named in 1827 by the early explorer, Joseph Fossey who found a resemblance to a miners cradle. The famous Cradle Mountain was first climbed in 1831 when the explorer Henry Hellyer triumphantly reached the summit.
