32 Mile Crossing

32 Mile Crossing offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving near the Coorong, where gentle terrain and scenic coastal landscapes combine for a rewarding short adventure. You'll navigate a straightforward 3.5 km route that showcases the region's unique salt marshes and waterways without demanding advanced driving skills, making it ideal for newer off-road drivers or those wanting a quick exploration between longer trails.

The driving experience is refreshingly relaxed, with zero steep grades allowing you to focus on enjoying the surroundings rather than wrestling with challenging terrain. You'll traverse sandy and firm tracks that wind through the Coorong's distinctive ecosystem, where you might spot native birdlife and experience the area's raw coastal character. The route's flat profile means minimal vehicle strain, though you should still prepare for variable track conditions—sand can shift seasonally, and moisture from nearby water sources occasionally softens sections of the trail.

Completion in around 10 minutes makes this perfect for fitting into a longer exploration day or visiting when time is limited. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle has adequate fuel and carry recovery gear as a precaution; though the trail is easy, remote locations demand preparedness. Water and basic supplies are recommended, as you'll be well away from nearby services.
