C835 is a minor rural route in northern eastern Tasmania, running north and then eastwards from Branxholm to Winnaleah. It serves fertile farmland, as well as logging areas in the west, however its main significance for tourists is as an access route to the Forestry Commission's water tower at Mt Horror. The tower is open to the public when attended during the summer months and provides commanding views across the district.
The route is sealed at both ends, however the 12km long central section is still unsealed bar a few short dust nuisance seals.
