The $7.8 million project was jointly funded by the state and federal governments.
Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism, Jonathon Duniam, said the track was recognised globally as a must-see destination.
"The completion of stage three will encourage even more tourists to visit Tasmania, get off the beaten track, and experience the unique regional tourism attractions we have to offer," he said.
Senator Duniam said the state has the highest proportion of people employed in the tourism sector than any other state with 42,800 employed.
Both levels of government had provided $25.3 million to fund the first two stages of the track which opened in 2015.
Environment Minister Peter Gutwein said the track would positively impact the local economy.
"We have a long-term plan to make Tasmania the eco-tourism capital of the world (and) attracting more visitors to our state," he said.
