Heath Trail

The Heath Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts a compact yet engaging driving experience that punches above its weight in terms of technical challenge. Located near Belrose in New South Wales, this 1.2 km route delivers the kind of water-crossing excitement that makes off-road driving addictive, making it perfect for drivers looking to test their vehicle's capabilities without committing to a full-day adventure.

You'll navigate through varied terrain that demands respect and precision, particularly when approaching the trail's signature river crossings. These water features require careful line selection and steady throttle control—the kind of driving that separates confident 4WD operators from inexperienced ones. The surrounding landscape showcases the natural beauty of the Belrose region, with native vegetation framing your route as you work through each section.

Before tackling Heath Trail, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and your tires have adequate tread for wet conditions. While the trail itself is relatively short, the river crossings mean you should never underestimate water depth or current conditions, especially after recent rainfall. Carry recovery gear and consider bringing a spotter if you're unfamiliar with water crossings. The Newtracs app can help you track your progress through this rewarding little gem of a trail.
