Tasmanian Trail

The Tasmanian Trail is Australia's premier cross-state bikepacking adventure, stretching approximately 480 kilometres from Devonport on Tasmania's north coast to Dover in the far south. Traversing forests, farmland, alpine plateaus, historic towns and remote wilderness, it offers one of the country's most rewarding multi-day cycling experiences. Designed for mountain bikes, gravel bikes and experienced bikepackers, the trail follows a combination of forestry roads, gravel roads, quiet country lanes, 4WD tracks and purpose-built trail sections. Along the journey you'll climb through the spectacular Great Western Tiers, cross the Central Highlands, ride beside Arthurs Lake, pass through Bronte Park, follow the Derwent and Huon Valleys, and experience the ever-changing landscapes that make Tasmania such a unique cycling destination. While incredibly scenic, the Tasmanian Trail is a genuine adventure rather than a casual touring route. Expect long climbs, remote sections, changing weather, rough trail surfaces and limited resupply opportunities between towns. Riders should be self-sufficient, carry appropriate navigation, food, water and repair equipment, and allow plenty of time to enjoy the journey rather than simply race from end to end. The trail is typically completed over 6 to 10 days, depending on pace and route choices, although many riders choose to tackle individual sections as weekend adventures. Accommodation options include campgrounds, huts, country towns and local accommodation providers, allowing riders to tailor the experience to suit their preferred style of adventure. Whether you're chasing your first big bikepacking expedition or looking to tick off one of Australia's true bucket-list cycling adventures, the Tasmanian Trail delivers an unforgettable journey through the heart of Tasmania—where every day brings new landscapes, new challenges and a deep sense of wilderness that few rides can match.
