Just minutes from Wodonga Holiday Park, the High Country Rail Trail is one of Victoria’s most scenic cycling and walking routes. Stretching over 80 kilometres from Wodonga to Shelley, it follows the old railway line along the Murray River and the foreshore of Lake Hume, offering breathtaking views, peaceful country landscapes, and a relaxed outdoor adventure for all ages.
Ride or Walk at Your Own Pace
The beauty of the Rail Trail lies in its flexibility — ride for an hour or make a day of it. The Wodonga to Huon Reserve section (around 15km) is ideal for families and casual riders, with a smooth, well-marked path and plenty of rest stops along the way. Bring your bikes, walking shoes, or even your dog for a gentle stroll through rolling countryside.
Scenic Highlights
Stop along the way to take in the Sandy Creek Bridge, a 600-metre-long timber trestle structure spanning a wide bay of Lake Hume — it’s one of the trail’s most iconic photo spots. In spring and autumn, the scenery comes alive with changing colours, birdlife, and reflections across the lake.
Local Flavours and Country Stops
Several trail sections connect with cafés and farm stalls, making it easy to grab a coffee or snack along your route. If you’re exploring further east, stop at Tallangatta, a charming lakeside town with picnic areas and scenic lookouts.
Plan Your Visit
Trail access points and parking are available near Wodonga’s Gateway Village. BYO bikes or hire locally, and bring water, sunscreen, and a sense of adventure.
