Car
If you are traveling by car, start your journey from Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Take the Southern Outlet (A6) south to the Huon Highway (B64). Continue on the Huon Highway for approximately 45 kilometers until you reach the junction with the Lyell Highway (A10). Turn right onto the Lyell Highway and drive for about 22 kilometers.

Turn left onto Lake Dobson Road, and follow it for about 10 kilometers until you arrive at the park entrance at 66 Lake Dobson Rd, National Park TAS 7140.
