Mumeedah Firetrail

The Mumeedah Firetrail delivers an exciting mix of river crossings and forested driving that will test your 4WD skills without overwhelming beginners. Near Gingkin in New South Wales, this 3.7 km route winds through native bushland with a consistent 7% grade that keeps things interesting as you navigate between water obstacles. You'll encounter multiple river crossings that demand careful line selection and throttle control—these aren't deep, but they require respect and a vehicle in good mechanical condition. The firetrail itself is well-formed in most sections, though the combination of water hazards and moderate gradient means concentration is essential throughout.

As you progress along this medium-difficulty trail, you'll appreciate the scenic bush surroundings and the genuine sense of accomplishment that comes with conquering each crossing. Most drivers complete the trail in around 21 minutes, giving you a satisfying outing that's neither rushed nor overly demanding. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle's water crossings capability is sound, check your tires for adequate tread, and carry recovery gear just in case. The Newtracs app can guide your navigation along the route, helping you identify each crossing point ahead of time.
