Information

Mount Sprent trail is a 6km return, grade 3 hike located in Southwest National Park in Tasmania. The hike should take around 6-7 hours to complete. From the top you'll enjoy 360° views of the south-west and Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Parks. The trail head is situated at Serpentine Dam near Strathgordon. Once you cross the dam wall you ascend a stone staircase to the track log book. From this point the track is exceptionally steep, literally pulling yourself up from knee high to chin for the first kilometre. The next section of track becomes more open button grass. The track surface alternates between white gravelly bedrock and thick sticky mud (depending on the time of year). The track offers open views the whole way. Towards the top of the track you'll encounter big rocky outcrops but then the terrain becomes almost garden-like. If you're keen to camp overnight there are places just below the summit.
