Mount Neville Trail

Mount Neville Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts a compelling backcountry experience near Kippenduff, with the appeal of exploring a route that remains largely untracked by the off-road community. This 6.1 km trail presents an opportunity to test your vehicle's capability on terrain that demands respect and careful navigation. You'll encounter a steady 6% grade that keeps things interesting without becoming extreme, allowing you to focus on line selection and vehicle control across varied ground conditions.

The journey takes you through the rugged landscape surrounding Mount Neville, where you'll experience classic New South Wales backcountry driving. Expect to navigate natural obstacles, rocky sections, and variable surface conditions that will keep you engaged throughout your run.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in top mechanical condition and carry essential recovery gear—as a largely uncharted route, you should be self-sufficient. Bring plenty of water, a detailed map, and consider using the Newtracs app to track your progress and mark waypoints. Check local conditions beforehand, as weather can quickly impact drivability. This is a trail for experienced operators who enjoy pushing into less-travelled territory and don't mind working for their adventure.
