Kentish Council Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The vast majority of people turn up at Dove Lake, do the loop around it and go home satisfied. My hand is up, that's exactly what I did first time. However, that represents about 10-15% of what's on offer and the shots of the iconic boatshed lead people to thinking it's unique. However, if you to the Crater Lake walk, you'll not only come across other lakes (Lilla, Crater and Wombat Pool) and tarns, but also another boatshed on Crater Lake, as shown here. It's a great walk, takes about 3 hours and is scenic all the way.

Crater Lake was the first of my expeditions away from Dove Lake. It's just as pretty but the walk is tougher and longer. You can hike there and back (roughly around 3 hours) or you can do a loop and get picked up by the service bus. That takes around the same time but you get to see more and varied scenery.
This is the shot most people take of Dove Lake. I just happened to get up a lot earlier than most to attain the best lighting. The walk around takes around 2 hours but is easy and you're on boardwalk or even ground most of the way. I'll post some other places that I think you should consider if you go there because Cradle Mountain N.P. is a whole lot more than just Dove Lake.
After 3 hours hiking this spot is a nice place to catch my breath. #SpringFun
