Stony Trail

You'll discover why Stony Trail near Moparrabah has earned its reputation among 4WD enthusiasts looking for a genuine challenge without excessive technicality. This 6.5 km route delivers a satisfying blend of rocky terrain and demanding gradients that'll keep you engaged throughout your drive. The trail's 18% steep grade means you'll need solid vehicle control and genuine off-road capability—this isn't a casual cruise.

As you navigate the winding path, you'll encounter exposed stony sections that demand careful line selection and steady throttle control. The landscape unfolds with native bush scenery typical of the New South Wales backcountry, offering a genuine wilderness experience away from established roads. The track's rocky composition means your suspension will work hard, so ensure your vehicle is properly maintained before attempting this route.

Given the terrain's technical nature and the steep grades you'll face, come prepared: check your tyre condition, carry recovery gear, and consider using the Newtracs app to track your progress. With an average completion time of 23 minutes, this is a concentrated dose of real off-roading. The fact that Stony Trail remains relatively untested makes it an exciting opportunity to add something genuinely different to your 4WD portfolio.
