Natural Attractions

Looking for a peaceful fishing spot away from the crowds? Lake Plimsoll on Tasmania’s rugged west coast is the perfect escape. With a boat ramp at the northern end of the lake, it’s easy to launch your boat and head out onto the serene waters for a day of angling bliss.

Unlike many other lakes, Lake Plimsoll is exclusively a brook trout fishery, making it a unique destination for avid fishers seeking something different. It’s quiet surroundings offer the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the tranquillity of Tasmania’s wilderness.

Whether you’re there for the fishing or just to soak in the solitude, Lake Plimsoll is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.

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