Greendick Road

Greendick Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a rare opportunity to explore an uncharted route in the Tasman District, where minimal traffic and untested terrain create an authentic backcountry experience. This short 0.9 km stretch invites you to discover what lies along a seldom-driven path, making it ideal for adventurers seeking to contribute local knowledge to the growing Newtracs community. Whether you're scouting new territory or simply curious about accessing remote areas of the South Island, this trail provides a quick detour worth investigating.

The gentle terrain and straightforward 0% grade make Greendick Road accessible to most capable 4WD vehicles, though you should remain vigilant about road conditions typical of lesser-used forest tracks in the region. You'll encounter typical South Island backcountry scenery, with native vegetation and rural surroundings that characterize the Tasman area. The short length means you can complete it quickly, but don't let that fool you—always bring appropriate recovery gear and ensure your vehicle is in good working order before heading out.

Before tackling this route, check local conditions and weather forecasts, as unmaintained tracks can deteriorate rapidly. Consider uploading your trail experience to Newtracs afterward to help fellow 4WD enthusiasts understand what to expect and build the community's knowledge of this emerging route.
