Old Enduro Track

You'll discover why the Old Enduro Track near West Takone has earned its reputation as an accessible yet engaging introduction to off-road driving in Tasmania's backcountry. This 1.8 km route delivers genuine 4WD enjoyment without the intimidation factor of more challenging terrain, making it ideal for newer enthusiasts or those looking to shake off some rust before tackling tougher tracks.

The trail winds through mixed native forest and open sections, offering pleasant scenery as you navigate the well-defined track surface. You'll encounter gentle undulations and natural obstacles—fallen branches, rocky patches, and uneven ground—that keep you engaged without demanding extreme vehicle capability. The absence of steep grades means you can focus on line selection and smooth driving technique rather than survival mode. Your completion time of around 9 minutes allows for a leisurely pace, giving you space to observe the Tasmanian bush around you and really feel the connection between vehicle and terrain.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good working order and your fuel tank is adequate. While this track presents minimal technical hazards, bring water and a basic tool kit as a precaution. The terrain is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, and with only a handful of drivers having explored it so far on Newtracs, you'll experience genuine solitude out here. This is the perfect warm-up track or a rewarding short adventure for those seeking accessible off-road driving without excessive difficulty.
