Murray River Adventure Trail – Stages 2 & 3
Have your say!
Murray Regional Tourism are seeking final feedback on Stages 2 & 3 of the draft alignment for the Murray River Adventure Trail from the people who know the Murray best – our community.
Whether you’re into walking, cycling, canoeing or kayaking… this multi-sport adventure trail aims to connect along the length of the Murray, offering visitors a range of unique experiences to enjoy nature and take in the offerings within our regions.
During August 2024, Murray Regional Tourism asked for the community’s feedback on the draft trail alignment.
Since then, the Project Team have been working through over 250 community contributions and working closely with both stakeholders and Traditional Owners to incorporate the valuable insights into the updated Concept Design.
Murray Regional Tourism are now excited to share the updated Concept Design, to ensure the initial feedback has been adequately addressed and provide a final opportunity for the community to contribute.
Parks Victoria are already delivering Stage 1 (around Echuca/Moama). Now, Murray Regional Tourism are undertaking Stages 2 & 3 – to Wentworth in the west, and Albury/Wodonga in the east.
To help gather feedback from the community, Council are helping to spread the word in our region and invite you to provide your feedback.

The website will be open for community feedback from Monday 28 October until Monday 11 November.
