Cider Park Track

Cider Park Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore one of Tasmania's remote Central Plateau regions, where rugged backcountry driving meets pristine wilderness scenery. You'll navigate 8.6 kilometres of challenging terrain that demands respect for the landscape and your vehicle's capabilities. The track winds through diverse terrain characteristic of the plateau, with sections that will test your vehicle handling and navigation skills.

You should prepare thoroughly before attempting this route—carry essential recovery gear, spare parts, and communication devices, as mobile coverage may be limited in this remote area. The absence of an official difficulty rating means conditions can vary significantly depending on weather and seasonal factors. Recent rainfall can transform sections into challenging mud and water crossings, so checking current conditions before departure is crucial. You'll benefit from using the Newtracs app to track your progress and mark waypoints throughout your journey.

The reward for tackling Cider Park Track is experiencing Tasmania's raw natural beauty away from crowds. You'll encounter stunning plateau vistas and the satisfaction of conquering genuine off-road driving challenges. This is a trail for experienced 4WD operators who understand vehicle limitations and respect wilderness safety protocols. Bring experienced spotters, maintain conservative speeds, and be prepared to turn back if conditions deteriorate unexpectedly.
