High Country Rail Trail

Natural Attractions

Stretching over 44 kilometres from Wodonga, through Tallangatta and out to Shelley, the High Country Rail Trail hugs the shoreline of the majestic Lake Hume. Ride back in time to the 1950s when the town of Tallangatta was relocated, and the old town flooded by Lake Hume.
