About this event

This registration is free. By registering for your walk you are helping the Parks and Wildlife Service to reduce the potential for long-term damage to fragile remote bush walking environments by limiting daily departures. Many sites do not have capacity to accommodate additional walkers who are camping due to the terrain and remote location.

Maximum departures are 20 people daily. You only need to register for your day of departure.

If you are no longer going, please cancel your registration. This allows others to register for this walk. You will find instructions on how to cancel your registration in your confirmation email.

Lake Rhona is a picturesque alpine lake with sparkling white quartzite sand beaches hidden amongst the peaks of the Denison Ranges of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park.

Walking in alpine areas can be an amazing experience, it is also dangerous at any time of year, especially for inexperienced walkers. Weather can deteriorate rapidly, and deaths have occurred when people have been caught unprepared.

This is a moderate to advanced multiday Grade 4 - wilderness track. Phones are not to be relied upon. Only people with previous overnight bushwalking experience should attempt this track.

All walkers must carry and use a quality 3-4 season rated tent with an inner and outer layer.

A valid national parks pass is required. This can be purchased in advance online.

Please respect the natural and cultural values that make this Track part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and follow the Leave No Trace principles.

Please ensure all of your equipment and boots are clean before commencing your walk.

Walker registration - protection of sensitive remote bush walking tracks.

PWS has introduced free walker registration for several sensitive remote bush walking tracks.

By registering you are helping to preserve the sensitive environment on these tracks by limiting the number of walkers to the available campsites. Many sites do not have capacity to accommodate additional walkers who are camping due to the terrain and remote location.

The PWS thank you for registering your walk.
