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 1.8 km circuit offers an accessible yet authentic 4WD experience, combining gentle terrain with the satisfaction of tackling a genuine enduro course. The track winds through native bushland with varied ground conditions that test your vehicle handling without demanding extreme technical skills—ideal if you're building confidence or introducing passengers to off-road adventures.

The driving experience balances accessibility with genuine interest. You'll navigate through sections of hardpacked earth, loose gravel, and rutted areas that showcase different terrain types within a short distance. The relatively flat gradient means you can focus on line choice and vehicle control rather than steep climbs. Local vegetation frames the route, creating an immersive bush experience typical of Tasmania's interior.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is road-legal and in sound mechanical condition, though no specialized equipment is required for this easy-rated trail. Check weather conditions beforehand, as wet weather can increase ground softness. The track is best tackled in daylight hours, and while completion takes only around five minutes at a leisurely pace, allow extra time to enjoy the scenery and take photographs. With Newtracs, you can track your progress and share your experience with the growing community of off-road enthusiasts exploring Tasmania's trails.
