Please noteBarrington trail is only open to vehicles from October 1 to May 31 . Temporary closures may occur during this period due to weather conditions. Check alerts for current closures. Check the weather or contact Gloucester office before you set out. A water-based mould (Phytophthora cinnamomi) is prevalent in this area. The mould attacks the roots of plants causing them to rot, causing a dieback of trees and plants. Efforts are in place to contain the area of contamination north of Black Swamp. You can assist the long-term containment of the mould by cleaning your shoes and mountain bike tyres before and after entering this region. Help protect the fragile ecosystems of the region by avoiding using soap, shampoo, and detergents in waterways and taking all rubbish home with you.
