The South Esk River is Tasmania’s longest, flowing from the slopes of Ben Lomond through valleys and towns before joining the Tamar at Launceston. Along its course, it carves Cataract Gorge, feeds Lake Trevallyn, and sustains fertile farmland. Well known for its trout fishing and beautiful scenery, it connects the vast wilderness with recreation across the region.
