Maurice Road

Maurice Road offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to Tasmania's backcountry driving, combining gentle terrain with genuine off-road adventure near Trenah. You'll navigate a well-formed 8.9 km route that showcases the region's natural character without demanding advanced driving skills, making it perfect for those building confidence in vehicle handling or exploring new territory with family.

The trail's minimal 1% grade means you'll experience predictable, comfortable driving conditions as you wind through Tasmania's distinctive landscape. The gentle terrain allows you to focus on appreciating your surroundings rather than wrestling with technical obstacles—ideal for longer exploratory drives where you can take time to stop, observe, and genuinely connect with the environment.
