There are a range of walks in the Derwent Estuary region to suit everyone, from easy walks for the whole family to more challenging tracks for the experienced bushwalker. The tracks allow you to explore diverse plant and wildlife communities, interesting geographical features and historic sites. They offer a range of environments from coastal beaches and bushland to hilltop vistas and rural scenes, taking in some of southern Tasmania’s most stunning scenery.
The Derwent Estuary Program organised a walking tracks forum and the attendees all agreed we needed better ways of letting people know about the fantastic walking and riding opportunities in and around Hobart. From this forum, we developed the Greater Hobart Trails website.
To support our foreshore tracks system, we also completed a visitors survey, a land ownership analysis and a strategy to for track development and promotion. The long-term vision for this project is to provide a quality walking experience reflecting, imparting and conserving the unique values of the Derwent Estuary.
