River Derwent

Tasmania’s Derwent River, stretching 113 miles (182 kilometers) from Lake St. Clair to Storm Bay, plays a significant role in shaping the landscape and port of Hobart, which is located on an estuary 12 miles (19 kilometers) from the river’s mouth. The river carves its way through the scenic Cradle Mountain–Lake St. Clair National Park, offering a picturesque journey. Today, visitors can enjoy a variety of water sports and activities, making the Derwent a focal point for both natural beauty and recreational pursuits.
