Bracken Ridge Trail

Bracken Ridge Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving in Tasmania's picturesque Southern Region, near the charming town of Judbury. You'll navigate a straightforward 3.7 km route that showcases the natural beauty of the area without demanding advanced driving skills, making it perfect for beginners or those looking for a relaxed weekend drive.

The terrain consists of well-maintained forest tracks with gentle, rolling sections that keep things interesting without presenting technical challenges. You'll experience the peaceful Tasmanian bush as you cruise through native vegetation, with minimal elevation changes throughout the drive—there's a 0% steep grade, so you can focus on enjoying the scenery rather than managing extreme angles. The 5-minute average completion time means you could easily loop it multiple times or combine it with nearby attractions in the region.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry water, as services are limited in this rural area. While the trail itself is low-risk with no major hazards, always check local conditions before departing, especially after heavy rain when forest tracks can become slippery. With only four vehicles having tackled Bracken Ridge so far, you'll have a genuine sense of exploring relatively untouched territory—perfect for documenting your adventure through the Newtracs app.
