...to the High Country Rail Trail, an historic railway line running along Albury Wodonga's Lake Hume. Stripped of rails and sleepers the old railway line now provides a unique 35km gravel recreational trail for walkers, cyclists and horse riding enthusiasts who want to enjoy a breath of fresh air in a tranquil countryside setting. The 8km section between Tallangatta and Old Tallangatta is sealed.

The High Country Rail Trail is an old railway line steeped in history dating back to 1887, providing rail services from Wodonga to Cudgewa until 1978, and was used extensively for transporting material for the Snowy Mountain Scheme in the 1960's.

 This is a community-driven project.  All work and fundraising has been undertaken by volunteers.  More information can found on the History & Heritage page.

The Points of Interest page highlights various rest points along the trail that include amenities and picnic grounds for you to stop off and take a 'breather'. A range of accommodation is also available nearby offering visitors a great place to stay.

If you would like to become involved or find out more about the overall project and our quarterly Friends of the Rail Trail events, more detailed information is provided on Events and News page.

Information on other tracks and trails around the region can be found on the Other Tracks and Trails page.  Plenty of reasons to stay for more than a day. 

If there are any queries you can contact us and we would be happy answer any questions, as well as hear any feedback regarding the trail or the website.
