Culcairn–Corowa Rail Trail – Riverina NSW, is an exciting developing cycling project in southern NSW, with a long-term vision to create a 76km cycling and walking trail between Culcairn and Corowa on the Murray River. Following the route of the former Culcairn–Corowa railway line, the proposed trail would travel through classic Riverina farming country and connect the communities of Culcairn, Walla Walla, Burrumbuttock, Brocklesby, Balldale, Hopefield and Corowa. The railway originally opened in 1892 and played an important role transporting wheat and other freight through the region. For now, the rail trail is only partially open. Approximately 2km of sealed trail is available at the Corowa end, running from the former Corowa Station precinct to Bullecourt Road. The rest of the 76km railway corridor has not yet been developed as a public cycling trail, and much of it passes through private property. Despite its short current length, the Corowa section can be incorporated into a much bigger cycling day. Corowa sits directly across the Murray River from Wahgunyah, where riders can connect with the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail towards Rutherglen, opening up some fantastic cycling through the wineries and countryside of north-east Victoria. The future vision is particularly exciting. If the full Culcairn–Corowa corridor is developed, there is also potential for another 26km extension from Culcairn to Holbrook, creating more than 100km of connected rail trail and a significant new cycling destination in southern NSW. A local committee is actively progressing the Culcairn–Corowa proposal, with support identified in Greater Hume Council's strategic planning. For riders searching for Corowa cycling, Culcairn bike trails, Riverina rail trails, cycling around the Murray River or rail trails in southern NSW, the existing Corowa section provides a small taste of what could eventually become a brilliant regional cycling route. RTS Tip: The full Culcairn to Corowa Rail Trail is NOT currently open. Only around 2km at the Corowa end is developed for public use, and trespassing on the undeveloped railway corridor is prohibited. For a longer ride today, combine the open Corowa section with local cycling connections across the Murray towards Wahgunyah and Rutherglen. RTS will keep an eye on this one and update the Ride Card as additional sections are officially developed and opened.

Murray Valley Regional Park MTB Trails – Moama & Deniliquin Murray Valley Regional Park stretches along the Murray and Edward rivers in southern NSW, with huge river red gum forests, wetlands and riverside landscapes providing the backdrop for some excellent purpose-built mountain biking. The park is spread across numerous areas rather than being one single riding destination, with dedicated MTB networks near Moama and Deniliquin. One of the highlights is the Five Mile mountain bike trail near Moama. This purpose-built network offers around 7km of trails suitable for a range of abilities, with fast rolling terrain complemented by berms, jumps, rollers, drops, wall rides and flowing bridges. There’s also a pump track and dedicated skills area, making Five Mile a particularly good option for families and riders looking to build confidence. Further north, the Deniliquin mountain bike trails provide another 12km of purpose-built singletrack close to town. Three loop trails wind through beautiful river red gum forest near the Edward River, with the network officially graded medium and aimed primarily at intermediate riders. The wider Murray Valley Regional Park - Deniliquin is also fantastic country to explore by bike, with forest roads, riverside areas and connections around the park providing opportunities to extend the adventure beyond the dedicated singletrack. The Regional Park itself extends through multiple precincts along the Murray and Edward river systems, so it’s worth planning which section you want to explore before setting out. For riders searching for Murray Valley mountain bike trails, Moama MTB, Deniliquin MTB, mountain biking near Echuca or MTB trails along the Murray River, this is a great region to have on the ride list. RTS Tip: Don’t think of Murray Valley Regional Park as one continuous MTB network. For dedicated singletrack, target Five Mile at Moama or the Deniliquin MTB Trails and use the individual trail maps to plan your ride. Five Mile is the more family/progression-focused option, while Deniliquin is better suited to intermediate riders. Also check current NSW National Parks alerts before travelling, as flooding, fire conditions and other events can affect access in these river environments.

The Echuca–Moama Velodrome is an outdoor cycling track in Moama, NSW, and home to the Echuca Moama Cycling Club, supporting track cycling, racing and rider development across the twin towns and wider Murray region. Located within Moama Recreation Reserve, the velodrome sits alongside a purpose-built criterium track, creating a dedicated cycling precinct where riders can train, race and develop their skills away from regular road traffic. The current velodrome was constructed in 1991–92, continuing a much longer history of cycling in Echuca–Moama. Organised cycling in the area can be traced back to 1869, while the famous Echuca Boxing Day Cycling Carnival began in 1906. The first Boxing Day Carnival at the new Moama velodrome was held in 1992. Today, Echuca Moama Cycling Club continues that tradition with track cycling, criterium and road racing, junior development and social riding. The club places a strong emphasis on welcoming riders of different ages and abilities and encouraging the next generation into cycling. For riders searching for Echuca Velodrome, Moama Velodrome, track cycling in Echuca–Moama, Echuca Moama Cycling Club or cycling facilities on the Murray River, the velodrome is an important part of the region's cycling scene. RTS Tip: The velodrome and neighbouring criterium circuit are active club training and racing facilities, so check current Echuca Moama Cycling Club activities before making a special trip. If you're interested in trying track cycling, getting in touch with the club is a great place to start.

Moama MTB Park, also known as the Five Mile Mountain Bike Trail, offers around 7 km of purpose-built mountain bike trails near Moama and Echuca on the NSW–Victoria border. Located within Murray Valley Regional Park beside the Murray River, the trails wind beneath towering river red gums and are designed to cater for a broad range of abilities, making Five Mile a great option for beginners, families and experienced riders looking for a fun cross-country session. The network combines fast, rolling singletrack with berms, rollers, jumps, drops, wall rides and flowing bridge features, packing plenty of variety into its relatively short distance. There’s also a dedicated skills area and pump track, giving newer riders somewhere to practise bike handling while more experienced riders can session features before heading back onto the main trail. The relatively flat Riverina landscape means the riding is more about carrying speed, cornering and enjoying the flow than tackling long climbs. Set around 8 km from Moama along Perricoota Road, Five Mile mountain bike trail is easy to combine with a wider Echuca–Moama cycling trip. After riding, the nearby Five Mile picnic area provides a scenic spot beside the Murray River to relax, picnic or make a longer day of the visit. Parking is available at the MTB trail, although NSW National Parks notes that it can become busy on weekends. RTS Tip: Five Mile is a brilliant spot for riders wanting to build MTB skills without huge climbs. Use the pump track and skills area first, then take those skills onto the rollers, berms and features of the main trail. Summer temperatures in the Murray region can be extreme, so ride early, carry plenty of water and check current Murray Valley Regional Park alerts before travelling. Mobile reception can also be limited within the park, so download any information you need before setting out.

The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is one of Australia’s premier cycling trails, with around 137 km of sealed trail through North East Victoria and the Victorian High Country. The network connects some of the region’s best-known cycling destinations, including Wangaratta, Myrtleford, Bright, Beechworth, Yackandandah, Oxley, Rutherglen and Wahgunyah, taking riders through the Ovens Valley, farmland, vineyards, historic railway country and the foothills of the Victorian Alps. With a sealed surface and predominantly gentle gradients, it’s suitable for road bikes, gravel bikes, hybrids, e-bikes, families and cycle tourers, although the climb towards Beechworth and the route onwards to Yackandandah are noticeably more demanding. The main Wangaratta to Bright section is around 82–83 km, following the former railway through Bowser, Everton, Gapsted, Myrtleford, Ovens, Eurobin and Porepunkah before reaching Bright. This is classic High Country riding, with farmland and vineyards gradually giving way to increasingly impressive mountain scenery as you approach Bright. With cafés, accommodation, wineries, breweries and food stops scattered throughout the corridor, the route works brilliantly as either a long one-day ride or a relaxed multi-day cycling trip. At Everton, riders can branch towards historic Beechworth and Yackandandah. This section includes the trail’s most significant climbing on the way to Beechworth before continuing through bushland, historic railway cuttings and rolling farmland towards Yackandandah. The Beechworth–Yackandandah extension opened in 2024, adding another major cycling connection between two of North East Victoria’s historic gold-rush towns. There are also separate sections further north. Wangaratta to Oxley is around 9 km, providing an easy connection towards the Milawa Gourmet Region, while the Rutherglen to Wahgunyah section is around 8.5 km, taking riders through renowned wine country towards the Murray River. These shorter sections are excellent choices for families or riders wanting a relaxed half-day experience rather than tackling the longer High Country routes. RTS Tip: You definitely don’t need to ride all 137 km to enjoy the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail. Choose a section that suits your day — Wangaratta to Oxley for an easy food-focused ride, Myrtleford to Bright for spectacular mountain scenery, or Beechworth towards Yackandandah for history and a little more climbing. If you’re planning a multi-day trip, the towns along the route make it easy to build a ride around accommodation, cafés and local produce. Just remember that the network has gaps between some branches, so check the current map carefully before assuming every section connects entirely off-road.

Murray Valley MTB Trails The Murray Valley Mountain Bike Trails, near Dwellingup in Western Australia, are one of the standout riding areas within Lane Poole Reserve and the wider Dwellingup Adventure Trails network. Set high above the Murray River amongst towering jarrah forest, the purpose-built singletrack network caters for beginner, intermediate and advanced mountain bikers, with 5 green, 8 blue and 3 black trails. Expect a combination of flowing berms, rollers, jumps, rocky technical features, climbing trails and fast gravity-fed descents, all surrounded by classic South West WA forest. The network is designed around a central upper trailhead known as The Roost, where riders are rewarded with impressive views across the Murray Valley before choosing their descent. Easier trails such as Year 1 provide a flowing introduction to the network, while the blue trails introduce narrower singletrack, loose and rocky surfaces, steeper sections and more technical features. Experienced riders can step up to the black trails, where steeper gradients and larger technical obstacles make the riding considerably more demanding. One of Murray Valley’s biggest attractions is its gravity riding. Riders can pedal back to the top using the dedicated easy and intermediate climbing trails or use the shuttle road off Murray Valley Road, making it possible to build a day around repeated descending laps. The trails form part of the much larger Dwellingup Adventure Trails network, with nearby riding at Marrinup and Turner Hill plus the long-distance Munda Biddi Trail, making Dwellingup an excellent base for a full mountain biking weekend. RTS Tip: If it’s your first time at Murray Valley, climb to The Roost and start with one of the green descents before progressively working through the blues and blacks — there’s plenty here for riders to build confidence without jumping straight into the harder gravity terrain. Lane Poole Reserve entry fees apply, and mobile coverage can be limited away from the upper trailhead, so download the current trail map before riding. Carry water, repair gear and check trail and park conditions before travelling, particularly after heavy rain or during high fire danger.

Kinchina Conservation Park, just west of Murray Bridge in South Australia’s Murraylands, offers an extensive network of mountain bike and shared-use trails through 414 hectares of native woodland, rocky gullies and distinctive granite outcrops. Around 70 km from Adelaide, the park is a great option for riders looking for accessible Murray Bridge mountain biking, with designated tracks that can be combined into a variety of loops. Key MTB routes include the 4.2 km Jailbreak Trail, 1.9 km Getaway Car Loop, 1.8 km Jailhouse Rocks Loop, 1.7 km Cemetery Trail and the more challenging 600 m Rocky Gully Link Trail. The wider network also connects with the Lavender Federation Trail, giving riders plenty of scope to extend their adventure. Another highlight is the 6.3 km Cypress Hill Trail, a multi-use green-grade mountain bike trail that winds through Callitris woodland on the northern side of Rocky Gully. Kinchina’s mixture of flowing tracks, rocky terrain, creek lines and natural bushland makes it suitable for everything from a shorter recreational ride to a longer cross-country MTB loop. Spring is an especially rewarding time to visit, when orchids, lilies and native wildflowers add even more colour to the landscape. RTS Tip: Kinchina is ideal for creating your own loop by linking several of the designated trails together. Most of the MTB routes are rated intermediate, while Rocky Gully Link is advanced, so check the park map and trail grading before setting out. Bikes must remain on formed designated tracks, and riders are asked to avoid the trails when they’re wet or muddy. The park can also close during Catastrophic Fire Danger and potentially on Extreme Fire Danger days, so check current park conditions during warmer weather.
