Jemisons Point Trail

You'll discover why Jemisons Point Trail is a favourite among 4WD newcomers and families seeking a gentle introduction to off-road driving near Potato Point. This short 1.8 km route delivers scenic coastal views without demanding technical skills or aggressive driving, making it perfect for those building confidence behind the wheel on unprepared terrain.

The trail winds through accessible bushland with minimal elevation change—you won't encounter any steep grades to challenge your vehicle or nerves.
