This local favourite section of the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail takes you from beautiful Bright to peaceful Porepunkah on 6.6km of fully sealed trail. Sip great coffee at one of Bright's many cafes before hitting the trail through a tall avenue of trees and past the iconic 'Welcome to Bright' sign. Stop at the bridge soaring over the Ovens River for a photo opportunity before continuing on to Bright Golf Club and the village of Porepunkah.
Make sure you bring your swimmers for a cool off at the end of your ride in the Porepunkah Riverside Park. Hungry bellies will be well satiated post-swim at rustically charming Porepunkah Pub. More pedal in the legs still? Continue on another 2km to Ringer Reef Winery to sip their famous Rosé over cheeseboards and views of Mount Buffalo.
