Artificial Lake Trevallyn, on the South Esk River (Tasmania's longest river) above Cataract Gorge, is a favourite spot with the locals. Take a picnic and have a splash in the shallows on a warm day. There are also walking trails, a bike track, archery and equestrian clubs and Cable Hang Gliding on offer.
To get here, follow Paterson St west (after crossing Kings Bridge it becomes Trevallyn Rd and then Gorge Rd), turn right into Bald Hill Rd, left into Veulalee Ave and veer left into Reatta Rd to the reserve.
