Spirabo Forest Way

Get ready for a refreshing 4WD adventure where water crossings take centre stage. The Spirabo Forest Way delivers a medium-difficulty driving experience that rewards you with multiple river crossings through pristine bushland near Capoompeta. You'll navigate 11.8 km of well-formed forest track that showcases the natural beauty of inland New South Wales, with the river encounters providing the highlight of your journey. The terrain is forgiving—with zero steep grades—making this an ideal trail for drivers looking to build their water-crossing skills without excessive technical demands.

The driving experience feels immersive as you wind through dense forest scenery, with the anticipation of each river crossing keeping you engaged throughout the 21-minute run. You'll encounter sections where careful line-choice matters, particularly as you approach and exit the water, but the overall accessibility means intermediate 4WD enthusiasts can confidently tackle this trail. The absence of steep grades means vehicle rollover risk is minimal, though you should always check water depth and flow before crossing and ensure your vehicle's water fording capability is adequate.

Before heading out, confirm your 4WD is in good mechanical condition and carry recovery gear in case you need assistance. The Newtracs app will help you track your progress and share your experience with the small community of drivers who've completed this gem.
