River Track

River Track offers a relaxing introduction to off-road driving near Little Desert, perfect for those looking to build confidence behind the wheel without technical challenges. You'll navigate a gentle 4.1 km route that winds through scenic woodland, with the Wannon River providing a picturesque backdrop as you progress. The trail's flat terrain means you can focus on enjoying the natural surroundings—native vegetation, open grasslands, and riverside views—rather than wrestling with steep grades or complex obstacles.

You'll encounter well-maintained tracks with minimal obstacles, allowing steady progress at a comfortable pace. The trail typically takes around 54 minutes to complete, leaving you plenty of time to stop and take in the landscape.
