Arthur River is surrounded by dramatic coastal scenery and wet forests which is a great base for exploring the Tarkine wilderness area in Tasmania’s North West. The town borders the Arthur Pieman Conservation Area where there are facilities for camping, picnics, and barbecues.

The tiny West Coast settlement of Arthur River is also the northern access point to the Western Explorer, an unsealed road that takes you to Corinna on the Pieman River, just over 100 km south. Arthur River is the gateway for four-wheel drive explorations and coastal walks.

Be prepared for all types of weather when visiting this region.
