Old Enduro Track

You'll discover why the Old Enduro Track near West Takone has earned its reputation as a perfect introduction to off-road driving in Tasmania. This 4.2-kilometre route offers a surprisingly engaging mix of terrain that challenges your vehicle without demanding expert-level skills, making it ideal for both beginners and those looking for a leisurely weekend drive. The track winds through stunning Tasmanian bushland, with sections of packed dirt and loose gravel that keep you engaged while you soak in the natural scenery around every bend.

The driving experience here is refreshingly straightforward—you'll navigate gentle undulations and natural obstacles without facing the steep grades that characterize more demanding trails. The terrain remains forgiving throughout, with no significant steep sections to navigate, allowing you to focus on enjoying the landscape and honing your vehicle handling skills. You should be prepared for loose surface conditions typical of Tasmanian bush tracks, so ensure your tyres have adequate tread and check your vehicle's suspension before heading out.

The relatively short length means you can complete the route in around 13 minutes of actual driving, though most enthusiasts take considerably longer to savour the experience and explore the surrounding area. This makes the Old Enduro Track perfect for a quick mid-week adventure or as a confidence-building warm-up before tackling more challenging terrain. Pack water, let someone know your plans, and you're set for an accessible Tasmanian off-road experience.
