Pitches Road

Pitches Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a quick but intriguing detour near Doubtful Creek that showcases the rugged character of inland New South Wales. This short 0.5 km route provides an excellent opportunity to test your vehicle's off-road capabilities in a concentrated burst, making it ideal for those exploring the broader Doubtful Creek region or looking to break up a longer expedition with some varied terrain.

You'll navigate through authentic backcountry conditions that reveal the raw beauty of rural NSW. The terrain presents genuine off-road driving challenges despite the modest distance, requiring careful line selection and decent ground clearance. The relatively flat grade means the difficulty lies more in surface conditions and obstacles than steep climbs, making it accessible for drivers with varying experience levels who are properly equipped.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and carry essential recovery gear—this is remote country where assistance may be distant. Check current conditions through local resources, as NSW backcountry tracks can be affected by weather and seasonal changes. While this trail remains unrated and untracked on Newtracs, the short length makes it manageable as part of a larger exploring adventure in the region.
