Scotts Peak

Scotts Peak is a mountain in South West Tasmania which is associated with the construction and flooding of the original Lake Pedder, as the lake now completely surrounds the peak.[1] It lies east of the Frankland Range.

There is a Scotts Peak Dam and a Scotts Peak Dam Road in the region.[2]

Scotts Peak is accessible by Scotts Peak Dam Road and the Lake Pedder boat ramp. Many people kayak across the reservoir to hike Scotts Peak. [3]
