Eatons Track

Eatons Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an exciting short adventure near Stony Creek featuring water crossings that will test your vehicle handling skills. This 2.3 km route delivers concentrated off-road thrills in a compact package, making it perfect for drivers seeking quick but engaging terrain challenges without committing to a full-day expedition.

You'll navigate through varied landscape as you progress along the track, encountering river crossings that demand careful line selection and throttle control. The absence of steep grades means the challenge lies primarily in technical water navigation rather than climbing, rewarding drivers with good vehicle control and water-fording experience. You should check your vehicle's water-crossing capability before attempting this route, as river conditions can vary seasonally and affect crossing difficulty.

The relatively unknown status of this track—with no official difficulty rating yet—adds an element of discovery for adventurous drivers. You'll benefit from using the Newtracs app to track your progress and contribute data about current conditions, helping build a community record of this local gem. Bring recovery equipment and ensure your 4WD is properly maintained, particularly checking differential seals and air intake height before tackling the water sections.
