Dove Lake Boat House
Dove Lake Boathouse, Tasmania, at dusk with Cradle Mountain in the background. The long shadows as the sun sets are amazing here with one side of the lake still in sunlight and the other side in darkness.
Towards the southern end of Lake Dove, just before you reach the boathouse, you will enter a magnificent cool temperate rainforest known as the Ballroom Forest. Ancient myrtle-beech trees festooned in moss tower majestically from a moss strewn forest floor. The effect is stunning, and reminiscent of an ancient cathedral and is particularly eerie at this time of day, being in darkness.
The boat house is near the end, (If you walk clockwise) of the Dove Lake walking circuit. The 6km track is one of Tasmania’s premier walks. It will take you right around Dove Lake and beneath the towering spires of Cradle Mountain. The track is boardwalked for much of the way and is located in Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park.
