Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail

This side branch trail is planned to be extended from Beechworth to Yackandandah.

AU$12m was budgeted by the Victoria State Government for this extension in May 2017.

[1] Unusually for a rail trail, it is sealed for virtually the entire distance of approximately 95 kilometres.

There is an on-road "preferred route" connecting Rutherglen to Bowser via Chiltern.

[2] A third section extends south from Wangaratta to Oxley, connecting with a bike path from there to Milawa.
