Corker Trail

Overview

Barrington Tops National Park has something for everyone, regardless of fitness level or inclination to spend long periods of time in the 'wilderness'. If you find yourself in this part of the world, and fancy yourself a bit more of an adventurer, tackle the Corker trail. The challenging walking track is recommended for experienced bushwalkers only, and it runs all the way from the Lagoon Pinch picnic area right across to Careys Peak on the Barrington Plateau. Be warned, it's not called the Corker for nothing, so expect a pretty tough slog through challenging terrain.

It's well worth it at the end, though, as you'll be rewarded with a scenic lookout over the snow gums, swamps and wide open grass plains of the Barrington Plateau for a view that will leave you as breathless as the hike did, if not more. The hike will also take you by Wombat Creek campground, a perfect spot to set up camp and spend a night under the stars.
