Bridport Walking Track

Bridport Walking Track An 11 km circuit walk around the town of Bridport Tasmania. Check out www.bridportwalkingtrack.com for more info about the track & Bridport

The River–Forest walk was opened in July 2011. It is the culmination of a vision to complete the walking track circuit around Bridport. It links the foreshore, beaches, the wild flower reserve, grasslands, ancient forests and the Brid River creating a single accessible yet unique walking experience. Whether you complete the whole circuit, the River–Forest segment or just a small section, take time

to enjoy the beautiful and special micro-environments that are part of the walk. Bridport Innovations Incorporated successfully secured funding for the construction of the River–Forest walk from the Federal and State Government, Dorset Council and NRM, and NRM North. Bridport Innovations Incorporated contracted Conservation Volunteers Australia to manage the track construction as a training scheme.
