Lake Spicer Track

You'll discover why the Lake Spicer Track is a rewarding medium-difficulty adventure on Tasmania's rugged West Coast. This 13.9 km route delivers an engaging driving experience without the extreme technicality that challenges some off-road enthusiasts, making it ideal for those building their 4WD skills or seeking a relaxed weekend expedition.

The trail takes you through pristine wilderness where river crossings punctuate your journey, adding genuine water-fording challenges that demand respect and proper vehicle preparation. You'll navigate through native forest and open terrain with minimal steep grades, allowing you to focus on line selection and water management rather than steep climbs. The scenery is quintessential West Coast Tasmania—dramatic and remote, with river valleys and dense vegetation creating an immersive natural experience.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is equipped for water crossings and check current conditions, as rainfall can affect crossing difficulty. The relatively straightforward terrain means you can complete the trail in around two hours, leaving time to explore the surrounding landscape. With the Newtracs app tracking your progress, you'll have confidence navigating this lesser-known gem that showcases what makes Tasmania's off-road network special.
