A quad bike rider has been rescued after it appears he missed a corner and crashed down a 15-metre embankment, Tasmania Police say.

The 35-year-old was riding a Yamaha Grizzly 750cc about 9.10pm last night between Corinna and Savage River, when it appears he missed a right-hand corner and crashed down the embankment, police say.

Police said it was a "steep incline", and rescue crews rigged equipment off a vehicle to reach him.

Emergency services were assisted by the Savage River Mine Rescue, and the rider was safely retrieved about 11.30pm.

He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
