Sawmill Track

You'll discover why the Sawmill Track has become a favourite warm-up run for 4WD enthusiasts visiting the Echuca region.

This is an excellent trail for practising smooth driving technique or introducing passengers to the 4WD experience. Whether you're using Newtracs to log your off-road adventures or simply exploring what the Echuca area has to offer, the Sawmill Track provides an accessible entry point to Victoria's 4WD trails. With three vehicles already having successfully navigated this route, you'll have confidence that your vehicle—regardless of capability level—is well-suited to the task.
