River Road

You'll discover River Road offers a unique opportunity to explore the quieter side of Victoria's high country near Beech Forest. This short 0.8 km route winds through native forest with genuine appeal for 4WD enthusiasts seeking a leisurely drive away from busier tracks. The terrain is relatively gentle with no steep grades, making it accessible for a wider range of vehicles and drivers looking to enjoy the landscape at a relaxed pace.

As you navigate River Road, you'll encounter the classic features that make this region special: tall timber, riparian vegetation, and intimate forest scenery that reveals itself gradually from behind the wheel. The track's brevity makes it ideal for combining with other local trails or as a pleasant detour when exploring the broader Beech Forest area. While the driving itself is straightforward, you should be prepared for potentially rough sections typical of forest tracks—bring recovery gear and ensure your vehicle is road-worthy before heading out.
