Lakefield NP low 4WD

It has been a little while since I have been through the park however I don't think you will need 4WD at any time. All the roads are fairly easy to traverse. The worst bit is into Laura as it is at times quite rocky and can damage types. Once you get on the lakefield road the surface is generally pretty fair. The far end has a couple of creek crossings that are shallow and not in any way a problem. Any real crossings have bridges over them. If you are going all the way through to Musgrave the long way then watch for small washouts if there has been any recent rain.

Hi, a friend and I rode through Lakefield NP from Musgrave to Laura in late July on our trail bikes.The section from Musgrave to the Ranger station at the North of the Park was very good. From there to Old Laura was becoming badly corrugated with a few large holes, and Battlecamp Road from Old Laura to Laura was even worse, although we met a Road Crew who were about to start work on that section.Your Subaru should be fine for this trip, high clearance is not needed.
Cheers

Yeh i concur with the others.
We spent 2 weeks up there in July nothing for you too worry about except the coro's, rocks and washouts, slow right down we had a few vehicles us and those of us who drove sensibly had no puntures...
The others however had several so have fun....

Should be fine in the suby
The only thing I would yhink about is some realy good rubber.
But that will start another topic.

Have a good one
All the best
