Come and cycle the Mountains to the Murray Rail Trail, from the Snowgums to the Rivergums ( when completed ).

The Porepunkah Rail Trail currently consists of approximately 94 Km of bitumen sealed path that is built over the disused railway line from Bright to Wangaratta.

The Trail from Wangaratta to Wahgunyah   ( on the Murray near Corowa ) has not been completed yet.

A Branch line from Everton to Beechworth is also open, a distance of approximately16Km.

 

The Porepunkah Rail Trail follows a gentle gradient that makes it suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. There are three toilet blocks built on the bicycle path, one at Eurobin, one at Everton Station, and the other at Tarrawingee Station. There are however public toilets in all the towns mentioned along the Trail.
