Pinch Fire Trail

You'll discover why Pinch Fire Trail has earned its place among New South Wales' hidden gems as you navigate this medium-difficulty 6km loop near Boorook. This trail offers the perfect balance of challenge and accessibility, with a gentle 4% grade that keeps things interesting without overwhelming less experienced drivers. The route takes you through diverse terrain that showcases the natural beauty of the region, combining rocky sections with well-defined track work that rewards smooth driving technique.

As you progress through the trail, you'll encounter varying surface conditions that test your vehicle's capabilities—expect a mix of gravel, light rocky outcrops, and compacted earth that's generally well-maintained. The surrounding bushland provides scenic views typical of inland NSW, with native vegetation framing your route. The 58-minute average completion time allows you to enjoy the drive at a relaxed pace, making this an ideal option for weekend warriors or those building their off-road confidence.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and carry essential recovery gear—while the trail is well-established, remote location means help isn't immediately nearby. Check weather conditions beforehand, as recent rain can affect traction on the gravel sections. With only one previous Newtracs user having completed this route, you'll have the satisfaction of exploring a relatively undiscovered trail that's perfect for adventurers seeking something less crowded than mainstream off-road destinations.
