Valley Track

Valley Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an exciting opportunity to test their water-crossing skills in a compact but challenging environment near Belconnen. This short 0.5 km route punches above its weight with multiple river crossings that demand careful vehicle handling and situational awareness. You'll navigate through scenic valley terrain where water depth and current can vary significantly depending on recent rainfall, making each visit a unique experience that keeps even seasoned drivers engaged.

The relatively modest grade belies the technical demands waiting for you on this trail. While the terrain itself isn't steep, the river crossings are the star attraction—you'll need to assess water conditions carefully before committing to each crossing. The surrounding landscape offers genuine natural beauty, with the valley setting providing excellent scenery as you work through the course. You should ensure your 4WD is equipped with quality snorkels, recovery gear, and that you have proper water-fording experience before attempting this track.

Before heading out, check recent weather conditions and local water levels using the Newtracs app to gauge crossing difficulty. The short distance makes this ideal for honing your off-road skills without committing to a full day's expedition. Bring a spotter if possible, as river crossings always benefit from an extra set of eyes to judge depth and obstacles.
