Fence Trail

Fence Trail near Barham offers 4WD enthusiasts a genuine backcountry experience through the rural landscapes of inland New South Wales. Stretching 20.2 kilometres, this unrated track provides an excellent opportunity to explore lesser-known terrain away from the more heavily trafficked routes, making it ideal for drivers seeking solitude and adventure.

You'll navigate through a mix of agricultural land and open bushland, with relatively gentle grades that make this trail accessible for intermediate drivers looking to build their off-road skills. The predominantly flat terrain—featuring 0% steep grades—allows you to focus on line selection and vehicle handling across variable ground conditions rather than conquering extreme elevation changes. Expect a mix of dirt track surfaces, some rutted sections, and potentially overgrown vegetation depending on seasonal conditions, particularly if the track hasn't seen recent maintenance.

Before heading out, you should prepare accordingly: bring plenty of water, fuel, and recovery equipment, as this remote route offers limited services. Check current conditions before departing, as creek crossings or weather-damaged sections may impact accessibility. High-clearance 4WD vehicles are essential, and travelling with a companion is strongly recommended for safety. The Newtracs app can help you navigate the route and track your progress through this rewarding regional trail.
