Enjoy Glenorchy's Natural Beauty
Did you know Glenorchy has its own beach — and not one but two scenic waterfalls? There’s far more to this city than meets the eye, and it rewards those who take the time to explore.
Get Out and Explore:
- Collinsvale — a scenic drive through one of the area’s most picturesque rural villages
- Myrtle Forest & Waterfalls — walk through lush cool-temperate rainforest and discover the falls tucked within
- Gould’s Lagoon — a peaceful wetland sanctuary and haven for native waterbirds
- North South Track — a fantastic route for walkers and cyclists taking in the landscape
- Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park — set in the foothills of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, this is prime riding territory, with Tolosa Park and beyond offering great options for walkers too
