King Spur Track

Ready to test your 4WD's mettle? The King Spur Track near Dargo delivers genuine challenge with steep grades that'll demand respect from both vehicle and driver. This hard-rated 5.7 km track climbs relentlessly through rugged alpine terrain, with a punishing 24% grade that separates serious off-roaders from casual weekend warriors. You'll navigate technical sections that require precision, concentration, and a well-maintained rig—nearly 50 vehicles have tackled this trail, and each one has earned bragging rights.

What truly sets King Spur apart are the river crossings that punctuate your journey, adding an extra layer of complexity to an already demanding route. You'll experience stunning high country scenery as you push through roughly 58 minutes of intense driving, but don't let the views distract you from the terrain ahead. The combination of steep pitches and water obstacles means you should arrive well-prepared: check your vehicle's ground clearance, ensure your recovery gear is accessible, and consider tackling this in dry conditions if you're pushing your limits.

This isn't a trail for first-timers or underprepared vehicles. You'll need solid driving skills, reliable brakes, good traction control, and mechanical sympathy to handle what King Spur demands. But if you're seeking genuine 4WD adventure that tests your abilities and rewards your courage, this track delivers in spades.
