Vandy Road

4WD track in the Waikato region

Vandy Road is a very-hard Waikato bush track, deep mud and bush rash all the way, best tackled with a winch and great for quads year-round.

(1)

A proper very-hard 4WD track that winds through bush, with plenty of mud and bush rash to expect as you push between the trees. This one's a challenge, not a gentle outing, but there's some genuinely good fun in it if you like getting your gear dirty.

The mud is at its worst through winter and dries out a lot in peak summer, when it gets much easier going. A winch is strongly recommended either way. Open all year round, and it makes a great quad ride in any season too.

To find the start, head to the end of Vandy Road by the house at the top. The track veers off to the left at the road's end, and you can't really miss it. Come prepared with recovery gear and expect a decent workout in the bush, especially when it's wet.
