Cedarland Ridge Trail

Cedarland Ridge Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts an exciting off-road adventure through pristine bushland near Kedumba, combining scenic driving with genuine water-crossing challenges. Over 6.7 kilometres, you'll navigate varied terrain that tests your vehicle's capabilities while rewarding you with natural beauty at every turn. The trail's river crossings are the highlight—you'll need to carefully assess water depth and flow before committing, making this an engaging technical experience rather than a simple scenic drive.

The landscape unfolds through eucalyptus forests and open ridgelines, with enough natural obstacles to keep you engaged without extreme grades. You should come prepared with a properly maintained 4WD and recovery gear, particularly given the water crossings that can vary seasonally. Check current conditions before heading out, as river levels directly impact the crossing difficulty and trail accessibility. The Newtracs app can help you track your progress along this unrated route.

This is an ideal trail for intermediate to experienced drivers seeking adventure away from heavily travelled paths. The combination of scenic bushland, technical water features, and reasonable length makes Cedarland Ridge a rewarding day trip that showcases what off-road driving in the Southern Highlands can offer.
