We left our car at wangaratta and cycled off toward beechworth, 4km in I wondered how we would ever make it. With such a great track through the most scenic country side you were mesmerized. The climbe from everton to beechworth was quite a challenge but such an achievement to complete and to be welcomed by such a lovely town... More

The entire length of the trail is about 90 kilometres and is a fairly easy ride. I have done it twice now. The first time took all day as there were riders of varying degrees of fitness and ability. The track is good but is not ideal for road bikes as it can be a bit bumpy and also a... More

The Murray to Mountains rail trail is a delightful track from Wangaratta to Bright, all of it off road, apart from the road crossings. I rode the rail trail with my father twice now, this time was in Autumn, and the colours of the leaves just simply amazing. The days were fresh at this time of the year, but once... More

The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is a great experience for those interested in cycling. There are many towns along the way such as Bright and Myrtleford which have caravan parks to stay at overnight, each within a days ride. The scenery is great and there are many opportunities to take alternate harder mountain biking routes along the same path.... More

The Murray to mountains is a great ride which you need to do over several days unless you are extremely fit. I enjoy the "downhill section from Beechworth to Everton". More

Best route is Beechworth downhill to Myrtleford and onto Bright, stopping at wineries for lunch and wine tastings. More

On Good Friday I gathered up Mum, hubbie, sis and the kids (2 and 4 years) in a trailer and we headed off from Wangaratta to Tarrawingee. It's around 20 kms, all flat, beautiful rural scenery on a great, safe off road trail with the last section on a quiet county road. After about an hour and half we arrived... More

I'm not a cycle mad person but don't mind a shortish ride, and I like it even more if there are cool places to visit along the way. Loved it that you can choose from all different lengths and experiences. It's such a huge trail - you can do all or just some. Loving the wineries that are strategically places... More

We have ridden this cycle track several times and it is a great holiday in a lovely area. The old railway tracks have been removed and turned into a cycle, walking, horse riding track that goes for 90 kilometers through very lovely country side. The track is flat and you see riders of all ages and sizes riding along at... More
