Lake Skinner Overnighter

I thought Id put together some track notes from our recent overnighter to Lake Skinner in the Snowy Ranges.

How to get there: From Huonville turn right straight after the bridge and drive through Glen Huon until you get to Judbury (about 15 kilometres from the Huonville bridge). At the main intersection in Judbury turn left towards Lonnavale and follow this road for about 10 kilometres past Judbury and turn right at the Snowy Range trout farm turnoff. (Note: the road turns to gravel just past Judbury). Follow the 'Lake Skinner Walking Track' signs along this road for about 15 minutes until you get to the very end of the road and the car park. The gravel road gets a little rough in places, and theres not much room for cars going both ways, so take care. The area around the car park has been logged in recent years and the start of the track may be a bit hard to find- coming up the road to the car park the start of the track is roughly straight in front of you. From here its a short walk through forestry land to where the South West national Park begins. But only the first little bit has been logged. Make sure you lock your car- the car park gets quite full at times (the day we walked out there were eight other cars there).
