Lost Road

You'll discover why Lost Road earned its intriguing name as you navigate this hidden gem near Coramba in northern New South Wales. What makes this trail compelling for 4WD enthusiasts is its combination of accessibility and genuine off-road character—it's challenging enough to feel rewarding without requiring extreme vehicle modifications or advanced driving skills.

The trail takes you through a mix of graded forest tracks and rougher terrain that demands careful line selection. You'll encounter rocky sections that test your vehicle's articulation and ground clearance, while the surrounding bushland provides peaceful scenery typical of the NSW hinterland. The medium difficulty rating reflects the uneven surface and occasional obstacles rather than steep grades, making it perfect for intermediate drivers looking to build confidence in technical driving.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle has good ground clearance and reliable four-wheel drive capability. Check weather conditions beforehand, as wet weather can make the rocky sections significantly more treacherous. Carry recovery gear, spare water, and a communication device—this remote location is far from immediate assistance. Using the Newtracs app will help you navigate accurately and share your experience with the growing 4WD community. With only one recorded completion so far, you'll have the satisfaction of exploring genuinely undiscovered territory.
