River Fire Line

River Fire Line offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving near Drik Drik, combining easy terrain with genuine outback character. You'll navigate a well-maintained track that winds through typical Victorian bushland, where red earth contrasts beautifully with native vegetation. The 7.4 km route follows what was historically a fire access line, and you'll appreciate how the relatively flat grade makes this perfect for building confidence without demanding technical skill.

The driving experience is remarkably relaxed—you'll complete the trail in around 12 minutes at a comfortable pace, giving you plenty of opportunity to soak in the scenery rather than focus intensely on obstacles. The terrain is forgiving with no steep sections, making it ideal for newer 4WD drivers or those wanting a leisurely weekend cruise. However, don't let the easy rating fool you into complacency; you should still carry basic recovery gear and ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition before heading out, as remote areas demand self-sufficiency.

This trail's popularity is still building, with only a handful of vehicles having tackled it so far, meaning you'll likely experience a quieter, more peaceful drive through the bush. The Newtracs app can help you navigate the exact route and track your progress through this gem.
