Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail
Experience the beautiful Ovens Valley by walking or cycling along the Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail. This is a disused railway line that has been sealed and converted into a walking and cycling track (click here for a history of the line).
The track extends south from Myrtleford to Bright, and north to Gapsted, Wangaratta and Beechworth. Easy gradients and wide curves make the track suitable for all ages. You will encounter interesting cuttings and bridges that hark back to the days of steam.
