Hi Maria,
The DEC is worth contacting before you plan a trip like this. The fires were very unfortunate. Hopefully it will be open soon.
Take it easy

We went there on Australia Day and found that we could not get through due to surrounding areas that were under attack with fire. How do we find out before we go somewhere what is happening in the surrounding area and whether we can get to the designated area.

Hi Rob,

Sounds like you had a great trip! I like Lake Jasper – lots of variety around there. I know what you mean about the track – what vehicle do you have? When I did it we did a trip from Pemberton and came in from near Black Point – hence the directions! I know they need to open up more campsites – when we were there it was off peak and still very busy. I don’t recall seeing any fish down there when we went – perhaps they died of poisoning or something? I don’t really know enough about them to be honest. If you like Lake Jasper I would say you would enjoy Walpole – I just spent the weekend down there and had a blast. Top notch location for a get away!

Have a good one

On the weekend we camped at the Lake , we found a really great spot to camp , under trees and metres away from the water. There were no flies but a little bit of rain . Can’t understand why there is not many birds around the lake . Also the yabbies are really weird , they are blue and look like shrips with yabbie claws and grow to about 50mm .The fish are green in colour don’t know what they were but there were heaps washed up on the beach .They really could do with opening out more camp sites as there are not many .
Lastly getting there is a lot better from Pnumonia Rd rather than going from Black Point , that road is a bitch .
Any way good spot .

Hello may I use some of the content here in this blog if I reference you with a link back to your site?

Awesome! I bet it would be a real problem towing ski boats in if the sand got really chopped up; those things are mighty heavy and don’t have a huge amount of clearance! I guess with the right tyre pressures in all tyres it wouldn’t be such an issue; people take 2 tonne fishing boats on the beach. You will love Hill River, its a very special place. Have a great trip, and stay safe.

Aaron,

Love you site. I think it is great. I went to Lake Jasper of the Christmas/New Year break 2009. I really enjoyed it though the flies can be a pain. From what I am aware there is no ‘real road’ into Jasper. On one of the trips along Scott road into the lake we passed two 4x4s towing ski boats out. The sand was very boggy but they were going fine. I towed a trailer in fine as well.

On another note I’m visiting Hill River this weekend so can send you some photos and give you an update on the condition.

Thanks, Chris.
