Simmon Road

Simmon Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a short but intriguing detour near Merriang South, perfect for those exploring the region's back roads.

While modest in length, Simmon Road serves as a useful waypoint for longer off-road adventures in the area. The flat grade means minimal technical difficulty, making it accessible for various vehicle types and skill levels. You should still exercise standard off-road caution—check local conditions before heading out, as rural roads can be affected by weather, and ensure your 4WD is in good working order. The unrated status means you're venturing into territory with limited community feedback, so local knowledge and recent condition reports are valuable before you visit.

This trail works best as part of a broader exploration of Merriang South's network of accessible routes, rather than a standalone destination. You can track your journey and share your experience using the Newtracs app to help build the community knowledge base for this emerging trail.
