Kendall Forest Road

Kendall Forest Road offers 4WD drivers an accessible introduction to off-road exploration near Batar Creek. You'll enjoy a straightforward 3-kilometre route through native forest that showcases the natural beauty of inland New South Wales without demanding advanced driving skills. The gentle terrain makes this an ideal trail for beginners building confidence behind the wheel or families seeking a leisurely weekend adventure.
