Reservoir Track

You'll discover a hidden gem in South Australia's rugged outback with the Reservoir Track near Beetaloo Valley. This compact 2.2 km route offers 4WD enthusiasts an opportunity to explore relatively untouched terrain that showcases the region's distinctive red earth and sparse vegetation. The modest 4% steep grade means this trail is accessible to a wider range of vehicles and skill levels, making it ideal if you're looking to add another location to your off-road portfolio without extreme technical demands.

The driving experience balances simplicity with genuine outback character. You'll navigate through sections of corrugated dirt with occasional rocky patches, encountering the kind of natural obstacles that define authentic bush exploration. The landscape opens up around you as you progress, revealing the expansive vistas that make South Australia's interior so captivating. Visibility is generally good, allowing you to appreciate your surroundings while maintaining focus on the track ahead.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is equipped with recovery gear and adequate water supplies—remote territory demands respect. Check local conditions beforehand, as seasonal weather can significantly impact track conditions. While this trail remains largely unexplored in the Newtracs community (no completion records yet), that shouldn't deter you. Instead, you'll have the chance to be among the first to document your experience in this quiet corner of the outback and help build the trail's story.
