Longs Road

You'll discover a compact but intriguing stretch of off-road terrain near Splinter Creek that rewards curious explorers willing to venture into Queensland's backcountry. Longs Road offers an intimate introduction to the region's natural character, where you can experience the raw driving conditions that define remote 4WD exploration without committing to an extended expedition.

The 1.0 km route winds through varied terrain typical of this part of Queensland, presenting the kind of challenging surfaces that test your vehicle's capabilities and your driving skills. You'll navigate sections that demand careful line selection and vehicle control, with natural obstacles and uneven ground keeping you engaged throughout the short but demanding passage. The relatively flat grade means the challenge comes from terrain texture rather than steep climbs, making this an excellent option for drivers looking to sharpen their technique on technical ground.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is properly maintained and equipped with recovery gear—remote locations offer limited assistance if things go wrong. The short distance makes this ideal for combining with other nearby trails, and tracking your progress through the Newtracs app will help you document your adventure in this lesser-known corner of Queensland's off-road network.
