Possum Creek

You'll discover why Possum Creek has earned its hard rating the moment you commit to this challenging creek crossing near The Glen. Despite its modest 0.2 km length, this trail packs technical difficulty that demands respect and precision from even experienced 4WD drivers. The creek itself presents the main obstacle—rocky, narrow passages that require careful line selection and skillful vehicle control to navigate successfully.

The terrain combines creek bed driving with dense vegetation on either side, creating an immersive bush experience that tests your off-road capabilities. You'll encounter slippery rock surfaces and unpredictable water levels depending on recent rainfall, making this a trail that rewards patience and methodical driving over speed. The scenery around Possum Creek showcases typical Queensland bushland, with towering trees framing your approach to the water crossing.

Before attempting this trail, ensure your vehicle is equipped with quality recovery gear and consider bringing a spotter if you're unfamiliar with creek crossings. Check recent conditions through the Newtracs app, as water depth and flow can vary significantly. With only three vehicles recorded on Newtracs so far, you'll experience genuine isolation in this little-traveled corner of Queensland. Plan for around 12 minutes of driving time, though challenging conditions may extend this considerably. This is a trail for drivers seeking an authentic technical challenge, not a scenic leisurely drive.
