Griggs Road

You'll appreciate Griggs Road as an excellent introduction to off-road driving in Tasmania's picturesque countryside. This gentle 3.4-kilometre route near Lonnavale offers the perfect opportunity to build confidence behind the wheel without the intimidation factor of challenging terrain. The flat, easy gradient means you can focus on enjoying the rural landscape and practicing basic 4WD techniques rather than wrestling with steep descents or technical obstacles.

The drive takes you through open farmland and quiet country roads, where you'll encounter a mix of gravel and unsealed surfaces typical of rural Tasmania. The scenery is characteristically peaceful, with rolling pastures and glimpses of the surrounding valleys. With no steep sections to navigate, you can maintain a comfortable pace and soak in the environment—making this an ideal trail for new off-roaders, families, or anyone seeking a leisurely backcountry drive without technical demands.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry basic supplies like water and a spare tyre. While this trail presents minimal hazards, always stay alert for livestock, occasional soft patches after rain, and other vehicles. The seven-minute average completion time assumes steady driving, so feel free to take longer if you want to explore the area or stop for photos.
