From dry woodlands to windswept summits, Wellington Park is threaded with tracks and trails. A range of walks in the eastern foothills of Wellington Park are particularly well suited to families, while extensive tracks extend westwards beyond the summit of the Mountain.

Walkers should choose a route to suit from the walks table. Tracks vary in quality and gradient. Most are well marked and easy to follow, however, remote and higher altitude tracks may be rough or wet underfoot. Navigation skills may be required on some routes, especially during poor visibility.

Take the right items for your walk as detailed in the equipment list and remember to carry a map. If commencing your walk from Fern Tree, the Bush Walking Information Sheet may help you get started. It is recommended that all parties carry a detailed map (available from Service Tasmania in Hobart, Glenorchy and Rosny and local map shops).

Plan your walk, and reduce your impacts on the environment by practicing minimal impact bushwalking.

There are numerous privately funded bush walking guidebooks that cover the Park.

Management of the walking tracks in Wellington Park is guided by the walking track strategy, cooperatively compiled by the Trust and the community based walking track working group (WTWG).
