Scottsdale (Tasmania) activities: What to do in Scottsdale (Tasmania)
Scottsdale is the centre of all activities bushwalking. Mt. Stronach, Cuckoo Falls, Mt Scott, and Myrtle Grove Forest Park are the closest bushwalks. Ask at the Forest EcoCentre, specifically the Forestry Tasmania office, for more information. The best idea is to get a photocopied map so that you can find your way through the forest roads to the beginning of the walks.
Mt. Stronach and Mt. Scott both offer spectacular views across North-East Tasmania. On a clear day, you can see the Furneaux group of islands in Bass Strait.
Cuckoo Falls is a pleasant walk to a pretty waterfall hidden in the local forest. The stated time for this walk is 3hrs return, but you can achienve it in less depending on your fitness. The track starts off on the level and gently climbs for about 3/4 hour. Then the climb becomes a little more demanding for about 20 minutes. But it's worth the trip to see the beautiful falls and you might be the only one visiting, thus you have a whole piece of wilderness to yourself for an hour or two! What luxury.
Myrtle Grove is a great spot for a barbecue surrounded by tall imported trees. The fresh, woody smell in the air is absolutely amazing combined with sausages on a barbecue. Follow a lunch with a stroll around the Arboretum. In the autumn, this is a great spot for blackberry picking.
Fishing is a popular activity around Scottsdale. Lakes and beaches around the coast provide a great coastal fishing experience. Try Blackmans lagoon and Waterhose lakes, the Cut on the Foreter river, and the upper Brid.
A walk along one of the country roads around Scottsdale at night is a great experience for a city dweller - no safety concerns, no traffic, just fresh, country air, the open road and a starry sky.
