About Secret Road
Secret roads are Forza Horizon 6's hidden trails — dirt tracks, mountain passes, dry riverbeds and unmarked shortcuts that do not show up clearly on the main map. They link parts of Mexico the highways miss, and knowing them turns a long detour into a flat-out shortcut, especially in cross-country races and the marathon-length events.
Half the fun is the discovery: a gap in the rocks, a trail behind a village, a path that only reveals itself once you commit to the off-road. The community pins below map these routes out, with screenshots of the entrances that are easiest to drive past, so you can add them to your mental map and your race lines.
Tips & how-to
Spot the entrances
Secret roads often start as a faint break in scenery — a gap in a treeline or a worn patch of dirt. The screenshot on each pin shows exactly where the trail begins.
Run an off-road build
Rally and off-road cars handle these surfaces far better than road tyres. A capable AWD build lets you carry speed where a supercar would bog down.
Use them in races
In cross-country and open events, a known shortcut can save serious time. Learn the trail in Free Roam first, then commit to it under race pressure.
Watch the surface
Loose gravel, water crossings and sudden drops punish the unprepared. Scout the route once at moderate speed before you push it flat-out.
Frequently asked questions
What is a secret road in Forza Horizon 6?
Any drivable trail or shortcut that is not part of the obvious road network — dirt paths, passes and gaps that connect areas the main roads do not. They are unlabelled, so most players never find them.
Are secret roads useful for racing?
Very. In cross-country and long point-to-point races, a hidden shortcut can shave whole seconds off a run by skipping a longer paved detour.
Do I need a special car for secret roads?
Not always, but an off-road or rally build makes a huge difference on loose surfaces. Road-focused supercars struggle on dirt and gravel.
How were these routes found?
By players exploring Free Roam and sharing what they discovered. Each route here is pinned with an entrance screenshot so you can find it without the trial and error.
