I had a lovely time on the rail trail, and cycling around the region more generally. The only thing I don't quite understand is why all the write-ups seem to recommend going uphill - for logistical reasons I went down and it was lovely, I imagine in hot weather uphill would have been a nasty grind.

The murray to mountain website does live up to its promise. Just don't go in summer... the heat is immense and the scenery is just yellow and dry.

The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is a beautiful place to cycle! We rented bikes in Bright and thoroughly enjoyed our ride towards Myrtleford, stopping to enjoy the local vineyards and rural sights. We shared the smooth pathway with other bikes, including families with small children, and even two elderly people in motorised wheelchairs. On our way back, we stopped... More

If you are in Wang and have a few hours and want to exercise please take your bicycle or hire one and do the trail ride. I have riden the trail many times, with my kids, on a long journey to Beechworth or casual ride with my wife. It is always an enjoyable and fun activity.

Did the ride from Beechworth to Porepunkah. Fairly easy ride, just a small hill to climb coming into Myrtleford. This ride would suit beginners but there are more challenging extensions to the trail. A great way to see the countryside.

As a novice rider this trail offers easy sections with good stopping points along the way. Well maintained and signposted the trail winds through towns and countryside it is a great way to see the North East.

Excellent riding service all the way. We got a lift to Bright, had lunch at the Ovens Hotel and back in time for a dip in the pool. The next day we started in Beechworth (at the bakery of course), then it was downhill all the way to Everton, took the road route to the Millwara Cheese factory for lunch.

We travelled by train to Wangaratta then cycled about 4k to North Cedars Holiday Park which backs onto the Rail Trail for our first night. The trail from Wangaratta to Bright is about 83k of fairly easy riding on a mountain bike. There is a little climb at Taylors Gap. The surface was sealed all the way. Lovely country side... More

I walk a fair bit. This trail from Wangaratta is a nice easy walk or ride. I like the quietness of the track and the fact that every now and then some one rides past and says G'Day

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
