Chatterton River Track

Starting from the carpark the track follows Chatterton River to an old stock route. It then cuts across to the original Jacks Pass Bridle Track. Views of Hanmer Basin can be enjoyed. An alternative is to follow the old stock route all the way to Jacks Pass.

Return either by retracing the trail or walking down Clarence Valley Road Road to the township.

1. Starting in Hanmer Springs leave the town following Jacks Pass Road.
2. After 2.2 km keep right to stay on Jacks Pass Road.
3. Continue on the road until the adventure camp.
4. Keep left and continue on the gravel road – the gate will be locked during hours of darkness.
5. After around 1 km you'll arrive at the start of the Chatterton River Track.

Entry to Hanmer Forest on foot is unrestricted except in times of fire danger or for public safety. Some tracks may be closed for harvesting operations – respect the signs.

A red flag flying outside the information centre and community hall indicate all tracks are closed because of extreme fire danger.

Report all suspicious fires immediately – call 111.

Wasp populations reach high numbers from January to March – wear light coloured clothing and carry antihistamine cream/tablets as a precaution.
