20 Mile Spur Track

You'll appreciate the 20 Mile Spur Track for its challenging yet manageable terrain that delivers genuine off-road thrills near Deptford, Victoria. This 2.9 km route packs considerably more technical demand than its modest length suggests, with a punishing 23% grade that will test your vehicle's climbing ability and your driving precision. The steep ascent means you'll need solid ground clearance and capable traction to handle the demands without bogging down or losing control on the descent.

The driving experience here is intense but rewarding. You'll navigate rough, rocky sections that demand careful line selection and steady throttle control, with little margin for error on the gradient. The surrounding bush country provides scenic vistas as a reward for your concentration, and the relatively quick 13-minute completion time means you can build confidence on technical terrain without excessive fatigue. Be prepared for potential loose surfaces and embedded rocks that could catch the undercarriage—check your vehicle's protection before attempting this one.

Preparation is essential for this trail. Ensure your 4WD is in top mechanical condition, your tyres have excellent tread for grip, and consider deflating slightly for better traction.
