Sports and leisure activities Franklin - Gordon Wild Rivers National Park

This walk, which requires 4 or 5 days, is in fact a 27 km round trip to the top of Frenchman's Cap. This route is much more strenuous than the Overland Track, with long, steep climbs and large sections of muddy button grass. There are two huts on the trail, at Lake Vera and Lake Tahune, but they are usually full. It is mandatory to bring your own tent and stove, good equipment and enough food to last in case of bad weather. The hike is best done between December and April.
