The waters off the bay contain vast forests of Macrocystis kelp,which is one of the fastest growing organisms on Earth.

I know most of you come to the National Park for Mt. Field. There, you will see the tall trees at the base of the mountain and the unique alpine plants at its summit. The wheelchair grade walk to Russsell Falls is the most popular track in the park. For many people, this waterfall is the prettiest in Blue National Park. Don't miss it. For the local residents, Mt. Field is a close and well-love skiing venue. During winter months, twos operate on the slopes; since there is no guarantee that they will be operating it is best to check the Southern Ski Association web site.
