Derwent Bridge is the gateway to the southern
end of the wilderness and wildlife of the Cradle
Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.
Named after its crossing at the source of the
mighty Derwent River, it's just 5 km from Lake St
Clair and some of Tasmania's most stunning
wilderness. Derwent Bridge is approximately a 2
hr 30-min drive from Hobart, Launceston and
Strahan. Derwent Bridge is located 174 km north
west of Hobart via the Lyell Highway. Derwent
Bridge lies between Lake Saint Clair and Lake King
William in the heart of the island.
