Spur Road

You'll appreciate Spur Road for its accessibility and scenic appeal—a fantastic option if you're looking to build confidence in your 4WD without tackling extreme terrain. This medium-difficulty trail near Woolgoolga offers a refreshing mix of forest driving and open sections that showcase the natural beauty of the NSW North Coast. The relatively flat grade means you can focus on line selection and vehicle handling rather than battling steep descents or technical rock gardens.

The 1.3 km route winds through mixed woodland with plenty of character, taking roughly 13 minutes to complete at a leisurely pace. You'll encounter well-formed track surfaces interspersed with rougher sections that demand attention but reward smooth driving technique. The lack of extreme gradient makes this an ideal trail for practising your skills, whether you're newer to off-roading or testing out vehicle modifications. The surrounding landscape provides pleasant photographic opportunities, particularly if you visit during clearer weather conditions.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good mechanical condition and carry the essentials—water, first aid supplies, and recovery gear. While the terrain isn't technically demanding, the isolated location means you should inform someone of your plans and have a communication method available. With 11 vehicles already logged on Newtracs, you'll find this is a popular local favourite with proven drivability.
