Reserve Track

You'll discover an excellent medium-difficulty introduction to off-roading near Spargo Creek, where well-maintained tracks wind through beautiful Victorian bushland. The Reserve Track offers a perfect balance of accessibility and genuine adventure—challenging enough to build your driving skills without requiring extreme vehicle modifications or extensive experience. Over 3.3 kilometres, you'll navigate gentle terrain that showcases the region's natural beauty while keeping your heart rate elevated.

The driving experience here is surprisingly varied for such a short route.

With no steep grades to contend with, you can focus on line selection and smooth vehicle handling—ideal for honing your technique or breaking in new equipment.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry recovery gear; while the track is medium-rated, isolated sections mean self-reliance is important. Check conditions after recent rain, as drainage can vary. You should also bring plenty of water and let someone know your plans.
