Cradle Mountain is an incredible wilderness region located in Mountain-lake St Claire National Park, just 1.5 hours drive from Devonport. Ancient pine forests and glacial lakes await in this natural paradise. Camp, hike, or stay in a luxury lodge to experience the full extent of the park’s beauty. There are many trails from leisurely lakeside strolls, to multi-day hikes to explore, or grab a canoe and get out on the lake.
