Chinese Road

Chinese Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known route near Arkstone with authentic outback character. This 1.9 km trail takes you through remote New South Wales countryside where you'll experience genuine off-road driving away from the crowds. The trail's gentle grades make it accessible for various skill levels, though you should approach it with proper preparation since this remains unrated terrain with limited historical data from other drivers.

The driving experience emphasizes exploration over technical challenge, making it ideal for those keen to discover hidden routes and expand their off-road knowledge. You'll navigate varied terrain typical of the Arkstone region, encountering the natural obstacles and features that define genuine bush driving. The relatively short distance means you can complete the trail quickly, but plan to spend time taking in the scenery and appreciating the solitude this area provides.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in solid condition and carry essential recovery gear—remote location means you'll want self-sufficiency. Check weather conditions beforehand, as unsealed tracks can change dramatically. This trail rewards the adventurous spirit of 4WD drivers who value discovery and authentic outback experiences over established, heavily-trafficked routes.
