4×4
A new dimension in off-roading and 4×4
Note: We don’t allow dirt bikes or four wheelers on 4×4 track. Slow driving and we are a low noise area!

Bass Lake offers a variety of 4×4 experiences in challenging off-road conditions suitable for drivers of all skill levels. The facilities include a gravel road course and a dedicated 4×4 obstacle course designed to test vehicle capability and driver control. Self-drive is also accommodated on our off-road trail, allowing visitors to explore the terrain at their own pace.
