Tamar River Conservation Area

Arrived after 10:30am, pretty hot in the summer... earlier in morning might be better, not only for the visitors but for seeing the wildlife more active. Saw lots of ducks, black swan, a pelican, geese and egrets.

A wonderful walk. Easy. Relatively flat until you get to the island. Toilets and a BBQ area located in the island. Beautiful seats dotted along the walk. Great for the entire family.

A very good nature Walk experience brings you to the Tamar Wetlands and Tamar Island nature reserve. Several varieties of bird life can be spotted here from ducks, swans, pelicans, lap wings, wrens... The list is endless really. Out on Tamar Island, there is evidence of habitation, a lot of fruit trees and even bulbs of garlic in flower, plus the large range of mature conifers and oaks. Very pretty, safe boardwalk and pathways, with BBQ facilities, public toilet and even a jetty. A round trip is about the 4klm mark.

Easy board walk through islands. Make sure to wear proper covering footwear as all snakes in Tasmania are said to be venomous. If you see one, do not provoke and move on. We moved fast whenever we heard the bushes move.

Plenty of bird sighting during the walks at the marshy parts at the beginning. Also some birds at the last island.

There is an amazing bbq area at the end. Wasn’t functional when we visited due to repairs. Should be an amazing outing spot for family and friends.

Beautiful 4.2k return walk/run. Well maintained boardwalk and tracks. Great Tamar views.

One of my favourite place in East Launceston
I go there everyday for my daily walk.

Amazing and beautiful walk. We were amazed by this place. We went early (8 am) on a week day and we're almost alone! Full of birds (hundreds), from egrets and herons to petrels and swans. The walk is quite long for a wetland Broadwalk and there are facilities in the island at the end. Would do this everyday if we lived here.

Being one the the recommended 60 short walks in Tasmania, this is a must when in Launceston. This walk is very easy (on board walk) and takes you through wetland areas that are good for bird viewing. Seems to be a regular breeze that funnels through the area that keeps the bugs away. Definitely read the information displays at the entry area and along the trail.

Pleasant, but not short, boardwalk out to Tamar Island. Plums await you in season. Much nicer when the tide is in. Plenty of bird life. Inexpensive. A good way to wear out the kids.

Amazing place.. Bice tongpnfor a 1 hr walk.

Good to walk with family

An excellent walking trail and well worth a casual stroll. Most parts are also wheel chair accessible.

Great day out and walk. Awesome spot to fill in some time and enjoy a stroll
