Blyths Spur

Blyths Spur offers 4WD explorers a chance to venture into Tasmania's rugged backcountry near Underwood, where remote forest tracks and raw terrain challenge your vehicle handling skills. This 2.6 km route takes you through dense woodland and undeveloped landscape, providing an authentic off-road experience away from established tourist routes. You'll navigate varied ground conditions typical of Tasmania's remote spurs, where vegetation encroachment and natural obstacles keep you engaged throughout the drive.

The terrain demands respect and careful vehicle placement, particularly where drainage patterns have shaped the track into shallow gullies and uneven sections. You should approach Blyths Spur with proper vehicle preparation—ensure your 4WD is well-maintained, carry recovery gear, and bring spare water and supplies since help isn't immediately available in this isolated area. The surrounding forest scenery provides genuine Tasmanian wilderness atmosphere, though the lack of developed infrastructure means you're genuinely off the beaten path here.

This unrated trail suits intermediate to experienced 4WD drivers comfortable with unmarked routes and unpredictable conditions. Use the Newtracs app to pinpoint the exact location and plan your approach carefully, as mobile reception may be limited once you're deep in the Underwood region. The relatively short distance belies the technical nature of the drive—allow ample time for careful navigation rather than rushing through.
