Well you have a 1x1 path at one point to it. That's probably why.

Nope. Because a) That's path is three wide. The 'W' marks the center of possible wagon positions.
b) That point is on the inside of the fortress _past_ the trade depot.

Wrong - that view only shows blocks that have 3x3 accessibility around them.

The real problem is that depot accessibility is calculated outward from the depot, so you need to follow that trail to the edge of the map and see where it ends.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Yeah, you're right. You've probably also guessed the problem. TREES! D: Probably planted by elf saboteurs.

Traps and stones also cause issues.

No, they went to Hel, where they lead a bleak existence in cold and darkness. Valhalla is reserved for valiant warriors.

Did you lay any traps on land the caravan may cross? Caravans won't cross them and they seem to do funny things to the "Accessable Depot" view.

I reckon it probably is elf saboteurs, I always suffer this too.  The cheapest (material cost) way of ensuring a free path is paved roads which periodically kill any saplings beneath them.  Looks awesome when the wagons follow them too.

I wish I had something cool to say about this.  Because it's really cool.

You could put "permit nothing" stockpile(s) on the route?
Make sure you don't have bin/barrels enabled.

Saplings etc won't grow through the stockpile.

(AFAIK)
