The North Esk River runs from the foothills of Ben Nevis in Northallerton Valley down to Launceston, shifting from fast, cool mountain water to a broader urban river as it approaches the South Esk River, with which it combines to form the Tamar River. Upstream, it feels crisp and scenic, with forested valleys and clear flow, while closer to the city, you’ll find easy access points, riverside parks, and the historic building of downtown Launceston.
