The 0.9 km route winds through verdant forest terrain, and you'll encounter multiple river crossings that add genuine excitement to your drive.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle's water-crossing capability is sound—check seals, snorkels, and diff locks if equipped. Bring recovery gear and travel with others when possible, as river conditions can vary seasonally. The short six-minute completion time makes this perfect for combining with nearby trails, and you can log your journey on the Newtracs app to track your off-road progression.
