RV TRAVEL
Litchfield National Park is famous for its waterfalls, inviting swimming holes and accessible adventures, all easily reached by bitumen. But for those keen to leave the crowds behind and experience the park’ s wilder side, the Reynolds River Track is a must. This rugged, seasonal 4WD track is the ultimate way to explore Litchfield’ s remote southern reaches, with river crossings, bush camping, historic ruins, and secluded waterfalls offering a very different kind of experience.
Starting just beyond Wangi Falls, the track heads south, slicing through monsoonal forest, open woodland and pandanus-lined creeks before exiting near Daly River Road. The route may be short, around 44km in total, but it delivers a full-blown Top End adventure that’ s up there with the best.
Don’ t be tempted to walk these stunning crossings – something might grab you!
Airing down your tyres reduces the stress on your vehicle and the track.
HOW THE TRACK UNFOLDS
The turn-off is well signposted, and once off the bitumen, it ' s time to reduce your tyre pressures. Around the first bend is the longest and often deepest water crossing on the track. What a way to start!
This track is strictly for high clearance 4WDs, and towing is not recommended unless you’ re very experienced and conditions are ideal. Multiple river crossings, severe corrugations, soft sand, and seasonally boggy sections make this a moderately challenging drive, not extreme, but certainly not one to tackle lightly. The further south you go, the rougher it gets.
