Ammon Road

Ammon Road offers 4WD drivers an opportunity to explore the rural countryside near Balingup with a moderately paced 6.4 km route that showcases Western Australia's diverse landscape. You'll navigate through a mix of terrain that combines the accessibility of well-maintained sections with more challenging passages that test your vehicle handling and navigation skills. The drive takes you through scenic farmland and bushland typical of the region, where you can experience the quieter side of WA's off-road network away from more heavily trafficked routes.

As you progress along Ammon Road, you'll encounter varied ground conditions that keep the experience engaging without overwhelming inexperienced drivers. The relatively flat grade profile means you can focus on line selection and obstacle navigation rather than steep climbs, making this a good option for those building their 4WD skills. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry essential supplies—while the trail length is modest, the rural location means assistance may not be immediately available. Check weather conditions beforehand, as unprepared surfaces can become challenging after rain.
