Serpentine River (Tasmania)


The Serpentine River is a major perennial river located in the south-west and western regions of Tasmania, Australia.

Course and features

The Serpentine River rises in what in now known as Lake Pedder below the Wilmont and Frankland ranges, and flows generally north by northwest, joined by one minor tributary. The river is impounded by the Serpentine Dam, one of three dams that create Lake Pedder, and then flows towards the Gordon Splits where it reaches its confluence with the Gordon River.
