Phelans Road

Phelans Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a compact yet intriguing backcountry experience near Boorolite in Victoria's remote countryside.

You'll navigate through rural Victoria's distinctive landscape, encountering the kind of local roads that reward exploration and curiosity from adventurous drivers.

The flat gradient means you won't face steep climbs or technical descents, making this trail accessible for a wider range of vehicles and experience levels. However, don't let the short distance fool you—conditions on rural Victoria tracks can vary significantly depending on recent weather. You should check current ground conditions before attempting this route, as unsealed roads in the region can become muddy or boggy after rain. Ensure your vehicle is properly equipped with recovery gear and that someone knows your intended route and return time.

This is the kind of trail that rewards local knowledge and curiosity. With zero recorded vehicles having driven this route on Newtracs, you'll have the chance to help document trail conditions for the community.
