Lake 2 Track

You'll find the Lake 2 Track a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge that showcases the rugged alpine terrain near Jamieson. This 4.1 km route delivers genuine driving engagement without requiring extreme vehicle modifications, making it ideal for intermediate 4WD enthusiasts looking to sharpen their skills on genuinely challenging ground. The steep 25% grades will demand your attention and respect, particularly as you navigate the rocky sections that characterize this mountain track.

The driving experience alternates between rocky outcrops and rutted sections that test your line choice and vehicle control. You'll encounter spectacular high country scenery as you climb, with expansive views rewarding your efforts. The terrain is technical enough to keep experienced drivers engaged—loose rocks, uneven surfaces, and elevation changes mean you'll need to stay focused throughout. Allow 20 minutes for completion, though conditions may extend this depending on your experience level and chosen line.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle has adequate ground clearance and recovery gear onboard. Check your tyre condition carefully, as the rocky surfaces here are unforgiving. Water crossings may be present depending on recent rainfall, so scout ahead if conditions are wet. With only three vehicles logged on this track so far, you're exploring relatively untested terrain—bring a recovery point and let someone know your planned route.
