LEISURE

Known as the gateway to Tasmania, Devonport is the state’s third largest city, centrally located on the Mersey River. Our location makes it an ideal base as you discover the history, wildlife and wilderness of north-west Tasmania.

Devonport is the gateway to one of Tasmania's top attractions, Cradle Mountain - offering bushwalks over grass plains, past lakes filled with trout, and majestic moss forests and stands of native pine. Craggy mountain ridges, pristine wilderness, and hoards of scampering marsupials.
