Three Capes Track will close from 13 to 26 April 2026 for planned burn operations and annual maintenance.
The closure is part of the state-wide Fuel Reduction Program which aims to reduce the risk of bushfire to protect visitors and protect and enhance the natural and cultural values across the Tasman National Park.
The planned burns have been timed during autumn, when conditions are more stable and predictable, and fuels are dry enough to achieve favourable burning outcomes.
The closure applies to the Old Cape Pillar Track (inland route to Cape Pillar), Bare Knoll Campground, and Three Capes Track (Denmans Cove, Stinking Bay, Arthurs Peak).
These areas will remain closed after the burn until an assessment is made to declare the area safe to reopen.
Visitors will be able to access all other tracks and attractions in Tasman National Park during this time including the Cape Huay Track (return), Tasman Coastal Trail, Tunnel Bay Track, Crescent Bay Track, Remarkable Cave, Cape Raoul, Shipstern Bluff, and Brown Mountain.
The closure of the Three Capes Track is undertaken each year and is part of the PWS risk mitigation strategy for walkers and infrastructure to ensure the Three Capes Track experience as Australia’s premier coastal walk is maintained.
