Cpt 155/4 Road

River crossings await you on Cpt 155/4 Road, a gem for 4WD adventurers seeking authentic off-road challenges near Runnyford, NSW. This medium-difficulty trail delivers an exciting aquatic experience in a compact 0.8 km package, making it perfect for drivers wanting to test their water-fording skills without committing to a full-day expedition. You'll navigate the creek crossings at a leisurely pace—the trail averages just 6 minutes of driving time—allowing you to focus on line selection and technique rather than speed.

The terrain here is refreshingly straightforward, with no steep grades to intimidate you, yet the water crossings provide genuine obstacles that separate competent drivers from novices. You'll experience the satisfying engagement of water splashing against your vehicle's undercarriage as you carefully pick your way across the creek bed. The surrounding landscape offers typical New South Wales bushland scenery, creating an intimate off-road experience away from major tourist routes.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle's water crossings seals are in good condition and your snorkel—if fitted—is secure. Check weather conditions beforehand, as recent rainfall can increase water flow and crossing difficulty. With only two vehicles on record having tackled this route via Newtracs, you'll enjoy a genuine sense of exploration. Bring basic recovery gear just in case, though the short distance means help is never far away.
