Hayes Road

Hayes Road offers 4WD drivers an opportunity to explore a lesser-known route through Western Australia's Peel region near Wagerup. This short 1.3 km trail provides an accessible introduction to off-road driving, making it an ideal choice for those looking to test their vehicle's capabilities on a manageable track without committing to a lengthy expedition.

You'll navigate through a mix of local terrain that showcases the natural landscape characteristic of the area.
