Summer Spur Track

You'll discover why Summer Spur Track is a favourite among Victorian 4WD enthusiasts—it offers the perfect balance of accessibility and genuine off-road adventure without the white-knuckle intensity of harder routes. Nestled near Warburton, this 2.1 km track winds through diverse terrain that keeps your driving skills engaged throughout the 27-minute journey. You'll navigate a mix of well-formed sections and rougher ground scattered with rocks and ruts, demanding steady vehicle control and concentration rather than extreme technical ability.
