Pares Road

You'll discover a short but intriguing forest route near Raminea that offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore Tasmania's remote backcountry. Pares Road provides an accessible introduction to off-road driving in this rugged region, where dense woodland and natural forest tracks create an atmospheric driving experience. The gentle terrain makes this trail suitable for those building their 4WD skills or looking for a quick forest excursion.

The 300-meter stretch winds through classic Tasmanian bushland, with native vegetation framing the track on both sides. You'll encounter natural forest conditions typical of the area, with minimal elevation change keeping the driving straightforward. The lack of steep grades means you can focus on navigating the track itself rather than managing challenging inclines, making it ideal for drivers new to off-road navigation. However, don't underestimate the importance of being prepared—ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and that you carry essential supplies, as the remote location means services are distant.

Before heading out, check local conditions and ensure you have navigation tools ready, as this area can be isolated. While Pares Road is relatively short, it's a worthwhile addition to a broader exploration of Tasmania's backcountry network. The lack of previous recorded attempts makes you a pioneer on this route, so take your time, respect the natural environment, and enjoy the solitude that remote forest driving offers.
