Lake Fanny Track

Venture into one of Tasmania's most remote and pristine alpine regions with the Lake Fanny Track, a challenging expedition that rewards adventurous 4WD drivers with access to some of the state's most spectacular wilderness. You'll navigate rugged terrain through the dramatic landscape near Walls of Jerusalem, where towering quartzite peaks and pristine alpine lakes create an unforgettable backdrop for your journey.

This 5-kilometre route demands respect and preparation—you're entering genuine backcountry where conditions can change rapidly and assistance is distant. You should expect rough, uneven terrain that will test both your vehicle and your driving skills. The track winds through alpine moorland and rocky sections that require careful line selection and potentially winching capability. Weather in this region is notoriously unpredictable, so you'll need to check conditions thoroughly before attempting this trail and carry comprehensive recovery equipment.

You'll encounter minimal traffic here, which means you should travel with support vehicles and be fully self-sufficient. The reward for your effort is access to one of Tasmania's most untouched natural environments—pristine alpine lakes, dramatic mountain scenery, and the profound solitude that only true backcountry exploration offers. This trail is definitely not for beginners; it requires experienced 4WD drivers with proper equipment, local knowledge, and genuine commitment to wilderness travel.
