Wards Track

You'll find Wards Track offers an accessible yet engaging introduction to off-road driving near Leneva, Victoria. This medium-difficulty trail provides the perfect opportunity to build your 4WD skills without requiring extensive vehicle modifications or advanced experience. The 1.5 km route traverses a landscape that rewards careful driving and observation, with gentle elevation changes that keep things interesting throughout your journey.

The terrain combines well-formed track sections with some rougher ground that demands attentive steering and throttle control.
