Upper Flagstone Road

Upper Flagstone Road offers 4WD adventurers an exciting opportunity to test their river crossing skills in the scenic Preston region of Queensland. This 2.2 km route combines moderate terrain challenges with the thrill of water crossings, making it an ideal destination for drivers looking to develop their off-road capabilities without extreme technical difficulty.

As you navigate this trail, you'll encounter a gently undulating landscape with a manageable 3% grade that keeps the driving experience accessible yet engaging. The real highlight comes when you approach the river crossings—these water features demand careful line selection and vehicle control, rewarding patient drivers with an authentic off-road experience. The surrounding Queensland bushland provides pleasant scenery throughout your journey, giving you plenty of reasons to pause and appreciate the natural environment.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained with proper tyre tread and sufficient ground clearance for water crossings. Check current weather conditions and water levels, as recent rainfall can affect crossing difficulty. Bring recovery equipment and always drive with caution through water—test depth when possible and never rush through river sections. While this trail remains unrated and relatively unexplored on Newtracs, that makes it a perfect opportunity to be among the first to leave a track record and help future drivers understand what to expect.
