Four Mile Creek Track

Four Mile Creek Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a satisfying medium-difficulty adventure near Dartmouth that packs genuine challenge into a compact package. You'll navigate a steadily climbing route that demands confident vehicle control and attention to line selection, with a consistent 6% grade that keeps things interesting without overwhelming less experienced drivers.

As you progress along this kilometre-long track, you'll experience a mix of rocky outcrops and well-defined ruts that showcase the diverse terrain characteristic of Victoria's high country. The creek-side setting provides pleasant scenery, though you should stay alert as water crossings can be slippery depending on recent weather conditions. Trees line portions of the track, creating natural obstacles that require precise steering and smooth throttle control.

Before heading out, check current conditions using the Newtracs app's trail reports feature, as ground conditions can change rapidly. Ensure your vehicle has good ground clearance and decent articulation to handle the rougher sections. High-range gearing will suffice for most capable 4WDs, but lower range may be necessary if conditions are wet. With 35 vehicles already having successfully completed this track, you'll be joining a solid group of satisfied explorers. Allow 4 minutes minimum for driving time alone, but plan extra duration for photo stops and to savour the crisp mountain air.
