Denniston to New Creek

4WD track in the West Coast region
(5)

Explore the old coal mining town of Denniston before heading through the hills towards New Creek. This route offers some stunning views whilst traversing some tricky terrain.

Best not tackled solo due to the two potentially tricky river crossings - with the Mackley being the one to note, depending on the flow and time of year you may need a winch and snorkel to successfully cross the river.

If you decide not to tackle the entire route the West Coast side offers stunning views and a fun cruise through the hills, as long as you turn back before getting too far into the track.
