Loved the wilderness of it all ... but the weather changes quickly and noticed a lot of ill equiped visitors trying to walk around the lake just before dark and without adequate wet weather gear ... make sure you have good wet weather gear

The circuit of the lake takes a couple of hours and is mostly easy walking with just a steep section at the start (if you go anti-clockwise). There are good all round views especially of cradle Mountain itself - if you're lucky with the weather as we were.

If you're not inclined to walk, or can't, you can still experience magical... More

Natural lake offering 2hrs of bushwalking around its circumference with some fantastic photo opportunities, easy stroll, can get cold and wet, streams, waterfalls, rocky outcrops and Cradle Mountain. Do yourselves a favour and do the walk, brilliant.

Walking trails around Dove Lake are easy to walk and the views are beautiful. Many walking trails to go on. Easy access to Dove Lake by catching the bus from the cafe.
