Montgomery Lane

Montgomery Lane offers 4WD enthusiasts a short but intriguing detour near Lockwood, Victoria, perfect for those exploring the region's network of backroad routes. While brief at just 0.3 km, this trail provides an opportunity to test your vehicle on a genuine off-road experience without the commitment of a longer expedition. You'll navigate gentle terrain that showcases the local landscape, making it an ideal warm-up run or quick addition to a broader exploration of Victoria's 4WD country.

The flat grade means you won't face extreme technical challenges, allowing you to focus on enjoying the drive itself and familiarising yourself with your vehicle's handling on unsealed surfaces. The minimal elevation change makes this accessible for a range of skill levels, though you should still prepare as you would for any off-road venture—check your vehicle's condition, bring essential supplies, and ensure you have appropriate tyres for unprepared road conditions.

As with any backcountry drive, come prepared with recovery gear and let someone know your intended route. The Newtracs app can help you track your progress and log your adventure. Montgomery Lane may be short, but it's a genuine piece of Victoria's 4WD heritage waiting for your discovery.
