Tourism & Recreation

Hydro Tasmania's energy generation facilities provide exciting opportunities for recreational users and stunning scenery for visitors.

Many of Hydro Tasmania's lakes are stocked with trout and provide excellent fishing for the keen angler.

Lake Barrington on the Mersey Forth Power Scheme is a world-renowned rowing course and hosted the 1990 World Rowing Championships.

White water rafting is also popular and where appropriate, Hydro Tasmania releases water for events on the Mersey Forth and Derwent schemes and Launceston's Cataract Gorge.
