Ringwood Trail

Ringwood Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts a compelling 8.2 km adventure through Tasmania's rugged backcountry near Wellington Park. You'll navigate diverse terrain that showcases the region's natural character, combining sections of established track with more challenging off-road driving that demands respect and attention. The scenic surroundings provide excellent opportunities to experience Tasmania's wilderness while testing your vehicle's capabilities across varying conditions.

As you progress along the route, you'll encounter the kind of unpredictable terrain that makes off-road driving rewarding—rocky sections, potential water crossings, and uneven ground that keeps you engaged throughout the drive. The trail's location near Wellington Park means you're exploring country that few casual visitors experience, giving you access to more remote landscape. Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is well-maintained and equipped with recovery gear, as the unrated status means conditions can vary significantly depending on recent weather and maintenance. Carry adequate water, communication devices, and spares, as help isn't immediately nearby.

The absence of an official difficulty rating also means you should scout conditions beforehand or connect with local 4WD communities who know the current state of the track. Your preparation and local knowledge will be essential companions on this trail. If you're tracking your adventures, the Newtracs app helps you record and share your experience here.
