With lots of recent rain and more on the way, many tracks in parks across the state are wet.
Parks Victoria’s track network offers hundreds of great off-road drives across the state – but it’s important to check conditions before you go.
If you’re planning a trip this spring – especially in places like the Mallee and along the Murray River – be aware that many tracks are boggy after a wet winter.
Wet tracks are easily damaged. Avoiding them protects the bush and helps make sure we can keep them open for you to enjoy in future.
If it’s wet, have a backup destination ready.
Some tracks are closed when it’s too wet, but others may remain open. If a track is open but driving on it will damage it then it’s best to turn back and leave it for another day.
A smart decision today can prevent months of damage to the track – or your vehicle.
If you’re a 4Wder looking for a fun challenge, try a more difficult but drier track instead.
Damaged tracks don’t only mean there are less places for you to enjoy 4WDing or touring in future, they also mean reduced access for emergency vehicles.
Protect the places you enjoy by giving wet tracks time to recover.
