Ready to tackle a new adventure? Laughing Jack Lagoon is calling!

An anglers paradise, the Lagoon is a half-hour drive from Derwent Bridge in Tasmania’s Central Highlands. A free campground sits lakeside, and access via a boat ramp located near the dam wall.

This secluded spot is perfect for self-sufficient campers looking to rough it – no amenities here, so pack the essentials! With 4WD access only, getting there is half the fun. Cast a line, camp under the stars, and soak up the Tassie serenity.

Here in Tasmania, our lakes don’t just offer stunning scenery; they’re also the powerhouse of our renewable energy hydropower! Laughing Jack Lagoon is a perfect example, where serenity meets sustainable energy generation. To keep everyone safe, always check Hydro Tasmania’s safety signs, as water conditions can change quickly!
