Chesterfield Track

The Chesterfield Track delivers an accessible yet rewarding 4WD experience near Glenmaggie, offering the perfect introduction to off-road driving without compromising on adventure. You'll navigate a well-defined 5.5 km route that showcases the diverse landscape of regional Victoria, combining gentle forest sections with open pastoral views that make this trail a scenic favorite.

The terrain strikes an ideal balance for intermediate drivers—you'll encounter firm track surfaces with occasional rougher sections that test your vehicle handling without demanding extreme modifications or recovery gear. The absence of steep grades means you can focus on line selection and smooth driving technique rather than wrestling with dramatic elevation changes. The drive typically takes around 12 minutes at a comfortable pace, allowing you to absorb the surrounding scenery and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry basic recovery equipment—while the trail itself is relatively forgiving, getting stranded in regional Victoria requires self-sufficiency.
