Snake Track

Snake Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a perfect introduction to off-road driving near Wyena, combining accessibility with genuine outback character. You'll navigate a straightforward 4.2 km route that showcases Tasmania's rugged landscape without demanding extreme technical skill, making it ideal for newer drivers or those looking to build confidence in their vehicles.

The terrain consists of well-defined dirt tracks winding through native bushland, with gentle curves that give the trail its serpentine name. You should expect firm, compacted surfaces with minimal obstacles—the 0% steep grade means you'll focus on smooth line selection rather than tackling steep climbs or descents. The scenery unfolds gradually as you drive, revealing patches of eucalyptus forest and open scrubland typical of Tasmania's interior. The driving experience feels authentic and rewarding despite the easy difficulty rating, offering genuine 4WD adventure without overwhelming complexity.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry water—remote areas demand basic preparation regardless of difficulty. The track's popularity is just beginning to build, with only a handful of Newtracs users having completed it, so you'll likely enjoy a quiet driving experience. Allow around 7 minutes for the main drive, though you may want to linger longer to explore the surrounding bushland. This is an excellent choice for weekend explorers seeking a genuine off-road experience within easy reach of civilization.
