Hays 2

You'll discover a hidden gem near Southport that offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore Tasmania's rugged coastal landscape. Hays 2 presents an intriguing short route that's perfect for those looking to test their vehicle's capabilities on challenging terrain without committing to a lengthy expedition. The minimal distance belies the concentrated driving experience you'll encounter, making it ideal for adding to a broader exploration day in the region.

The trail takes you through pristine natural surroundings characteristic of southern Tasmania, where dense vegetation and rocky outcrops create an engaging drive. While the 0% steep grade might suggest straightforward going, the actual conditions demand respect and careful vehicle handling. You should come prepared with appropriate tyre pressure adjustments and recovery equipment, as the compact nature of this route means limited options for turning around if conditions deteriorate. Local knowledge proves invaluable here, so consult with experienced locals before heading out.

This is a trail for the curious 4WD enthusiast willing to tackle something relatively unknown and undocumented. The lack of previous logged vehicles means you could be among the first to report on trail conditions through the Newtracs app, contributing valuable data to the community. Come equipped with proper off-road experience, good judgment, and a spirit of adventure—Hays 2 rewards those prepared to explore Tasmania's less-travelled paths.
