Mount Foster Road
East Coast, Tasmania
- Length
- 6.2 km
- Typical time
- 0.3 hours
Mount Foster Road winds through the rugged coastal ranges of northeastern Tasmania, climbing steadily through dense wet sclerophyll forest and patches of temperate rainforest toward Mount Foster's lower slopes. The track features numerous creek crossings, rocky sections, and can become treacherous in wet conditions as clay soils turn slippery. Spectacular views emerge through the canopy, with glimpses of the Tasman Sea and surrounding mountain ranges rewarding those who tackle this challenging but accessible mountain route.
Track becomes extremely slippery and potentially impassable during winter months and after heavy rain due to clay-based soils.
