Lakes Country

Picture
The lakes region is located in central Tasmania to the south of the Great Western Tiers, and is largely responsible for Tasmania's growing reputation as an angler's paradise.

Peak trout fishing occurs in January and February.


Picture
Fishing is not the only activity of interest in the lakes region. Some of the thousands of lakes were formed through glacial action, whereas others are due to well-established hydro-electric schemes. The Waddamana Power Museum is at the site of Tasmania's first power station, built in 1910.
