Boating and fly fishing are very popular in the Central; Highlands with a large number of lakes and rivers to choose from. It is possible to book guides and adventure tours to provide guided access to some of the more unusual areas and the activities they offer but there are also many bush walks and trails which support the more adventurous in accessing these areas themselves. Please remember that the Tasmanian Wilderness can be forbidding and dangerous to those not well prepared due to sudden weather changes and potentially harsh conditions. Make sure your trips are well planned and that you are well equipped if being more adventurous and always sign yourself in and out from the more challenging bush walk in the record books provided at the beginnings of the walks.
