Mount Field is one of Australia's oldest national parks, with magnificent rain forests, Alpine moorland and fine waterfalls. On the high moorland snow lies until summer, and there may also be heavy rain and cold spells in summer. The last Tasmanian tiger was caught in this area in 1930.
There are a variety of beautiful walking trails in the national park; one of them, the short Russell Falls Nature Walk, is suitable even for wheelchair-users. There is an easy walk round Lake Dobson, and experienced bush walkers have a choice of attractive routes.
Mount Field National Park is a popular skiing area in winter, with downhill skiing on Mount Mawson.
