Trails Track

You'll discover why Trails Track near Dargo has earned its reputation among Victorian 4WD enthusiasts as a rewarding medium-difficulty adventure. This 5.2 km route delivers genuine off-road challenge without overwhelming inexperienced drivers, making it ideal for honing your vehicle handling skills in a relatively compact package. The terrain combines rocky sections with rutted forest tracks, testing your line selection and throttle control as you navigate through native bush scenery that showcases the natural beauty of the region.

The 8% steep grade demands respect and proper technique—you should ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and your tires have adequate tread before tackling this track. Expect to complete the route in around 22 minutes if conditions are favourable, though mud after rain will extend your time considerably. The narrow forest corridors mean recovery options are limited, so conservative driving is essential. Bring recovery gear and let someone know your expected return time.

What makes Trails Track particularly rewarding is its accessibility combined with genuine technical sections that separate confident drivers from novices. The constant elevation changes and tight vegetation create an engaging driving experience that justifies its medium difficulty rating. With only one vehicle having recorded completion on Newtracs so far, you'll be adding your own valuable experience to this emerging trail's track record.
