Spectacular location very peaceful and pretty.Staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. You can get an idea of the place in 1 hour if you are short on time otherwise you can literally spend all day.Easy walks for littlw kids and joyul park and great amenities. Perfect for walks with teens too. I think it is one if the best locations in Tassie a must do if you are visiting Launceston

Lovely gorge, with great facilities. The chairlift looked great, although we chose to do the zig zag walk which is not for the faint hearted. The walk was pretty tough going & we were hoping to do a loop but hadn’t realised one side of the gorge was closed due to a rock fall, so we had to back via the zig zag track! Great place not far out of town with great recreational facilities (picnic area, cafe, plunge pool)

A hidden gem, beautiful scenery and a great place to walk and relax. Go solo, with family or friends and relax. I had a great time, the park team that I met were very friendy. Fantastic day out and a must visit.

We walked from the Silo carpark to the gorge and back. Note at present that the easier walk on the right side of the river is shut due rock fall. You can take the left side (Zig Zag track) which is harder. It is a lovely reserve and you can walk on the suspension bridge and see peacocks. Take your swimmers if you want to swim.

WOW! We came here not expecting such an amazing reserve. We hiked seven kilometres along the track which varied in Scenic views and gradience. Hard to believe that this massive reserve is around 10 minutes out of Launceston city. The chairlift was a must! Toilets are located in two different spots. There is a cafe though we didn’t go there as we were so captivated by all that the reserve has to offer in views. We saw wallabies and peacocks. 🦚 There are many varieties of trees. Extremely well kept premises. Highly recommend this place if in Launceston. Update: Returned two years later and hiked the Gorge in reverse this time. Afterwards we stopped at the cafe for coffee. Loved spending a good part of the day here- Great hike with beautiful views!

Located within the residential area. You’ll come to a big carpark just at the entrance. Note: You need to find the parking machine to buy the parking ticket. The ticket needs to be displayed on yr vehicle. The ticket counter for the chair lift is near the entrance. You can either buy one way or two way ticket. We chose to buy one way up and walked back via the suspension bridge. (Abt 15mins) In the middle of the reserve, you’ll find a big swimming pool and a kids playground by the side. For those up for adventure, take a dive and swim in the gorge. There are showers/ changing rooms available. There’s also a cafe located within the reserve.

An absolute must visit when in Launceston. Just a short drive from the city. The lady at the ticket booth provided exceptional customer service. I suggest walking the gorge first, then catching the chair lift back. Sight seeing was fantastic

The Gorge is located right outside the city Center. We drove there as the Gorge walk from town is closed due to rock slide until perhaps March. There are various trails to walk, a chairlift, restaurant. There is a huge pool next to the gorge also. We hiked up to cataract lookout, walked across the suspension bridge and walked the trail to Sentinel lookout. We then had a picnic and watched the various peacocks. There is a family or more of them with babies (2 weeks old), as well as wallabys. It was a really lovely day spent here

Wow, what an awesome gem for Launceston! to be honest, I thought it would be one of those places that didn't really live up to expectations, but boy did it deliver! Just a beautiful spot, an could happily wander the trails for hours.

This scenery is spectacular for a 1st day visit or visiting regularly for a daily walk. You will not get sick of walking around this historic Gorge You have Peacocks/water Hens/ Black Cockatoos. Kid friendly playground at the water end and a beautiful cafe at the start and in the middle which is reasonable priced. We are visiting From Queensland and this is one of our best experiences for Tasmania.. it's a must to visit and a memorable experience to walk along the Historic Gorge and a definite to do the chair lift...please if you don't like heights. It's so safe and beautiful to experience that you need to try to tick off your bucket list.
