Hire a mountain bike or take a guided wilderness walk for unsurpassed views of distant peaks. Grab a paddle and explore the lake or Henty River with an experienced guide by sea kayak or canoe. Ask about boat and horseback tours of the area.

For something quaint, hop aboard Wee Georgie Wood for a 1.6-kilometre (one-mile) small-gauge steam locomotive ride right from the middle of the town. And for something uniquely Tasmanian, drop by the local woodcraft workshop, which is open most days.
