Horehore Road

Horehore Road near Gisborne District in Gisborne, New Zealand is a 3.6 km four-wheel drive track defined by river crossings and a steep 15% grade. The route will take you through terrain that demands careful line selection and vehicle control over its length. No vehicles have logged this track on Newtracs yet, so current surface conditions and crossing water levels are unverified.

The gradient peaks at 15%, which will test traction and braking on the descent depending on surface composition. River crossings feature as a notable hazard—water depth, flow rate, and bottom conditions vary seasonally and after rainfall, so reconnaissance before committing is standard practice. You'll need a capable four-wheel drive with good ground clearance and recovery gear on hand. The 3.6 km distance is short, but technical terrain can extend your time significantly.

Conditions reported by drivers on Newtracs help establish what this track demands. None have logged it yet, so you'll be contributing the first real data on surface type, crossing difficulty, and actual completion time.
