Simmons Road

Want to test your vehicle's water-fording capabilities on a compact but challenging route? Simmons Road near Wisemans Creek delivers an exciting off-road experience despite its modest 0.2 km length. This short burst of adventure packs more thrills than you'd expect, making it ideal for drivers looking to hone their river-crossing skills without committing to an extended expedition.

You'll encounter river crossings that demand careful navigation and proper technique. Before tackling this trail, ensure your 4WD is equipped for water crossings—check your vehicle's water-fording depth rating and confirm all seals are intact. Drive slowly through the water, maintain steady momentum, and avoid sudden movements that could cause stalling or water ingestion into your engine. The lack of steep grades means this isn't a climbing challenge, but the water obstacles present their own technical demands that shouldn't be underestimated.
