Briggs Lane

Briggs Lane offers 4WD enthusiasts a quick and accessible introduction to off-road driving near Myrtleford, making it perfect for those new to the activity or looking for a leisurely cruise through Victoria's countryside. You'll navigate a short 0.7 km stretch of rural track that showcases the gentle terrain characteristic of this picturesque region, with minimal technical challenge but genuine off-road character that sets it apart from standard roads.

The driving experience is refreshingly straightforward—you'll encounter a flat, well-defined lane with no steep grades to challenge your vehicle or skills. The surrounding landscape provides pleasant rural scenery as you make your way through, though the brevity of the trail means you'll complete it in roughly a minute of actual driving time. This makes Briggs Lane ideal for testing your vehicle's off-road capabilities in low-stress conditions or as a warm-up before tackling more demanding routes in the area.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and check local conditions, as rural tracks can vary seasonally. While this trail presents minimal hazards, basic 4WD safety practices should always apply. With only a handful of vehicles having logged the route on Newtracs, you may find yourself exploring relatively undiscovered terrain—a genuine advantage for those seeking quieter off-road experiences away from heavily trafficked routes.
