Meander Forest Reserve is
a little over an hours drive from either Launceston or Devonport.
Deloraine is half way between Launceston and Devonport. Meander is
15 kilometres south of Deloraine with the reserve a further 10
kilometres further on. The road passed the Meander Dam
construction site - Lake Huntsman. The new lake is a very scenic
addition to the area. A new picnic area has been constructed
overlooking the lake next to the Meander Falls Road.
There are numerous walks in the
reserve all with their own unique attraction. The best known walk is
Meander Falls - a 6 hour return walk with an optional loop walk through
Split Rock - an additional 2 or 3 hours. However, some of the other shorter walks are as
impressive and well worth the visit. But be aware, the walks are
all relentlessly uphill and require a good level of fitness.
