The 24km Tween section of the Northern Rivers Trail is opening in March.
The Northern Rivers Rail Trail is a new walking and cycling trail that will connect the Tweed Valley with Byron Shire, Lismore and Casino, transforming a former rail corridor into the region’s newest must-do visitor experience.
When completed, the trail will traverse 132km of some of the most spectacular countryside in Australia, winding its way through scenic villages and towns, rail tunnels and historic bridges.
It will be one of the longest rail trails in the country where visitors of all ages and abilities will be free to explore and discover the natural beauty of the region.
The first 24km leg from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek opens to the public on 1 March 2023.
To be delivered in four stages, the 132km trail is expected to draw thousands of visitors each year to explore and discover the natural beauty of the Northern Rivers - on foot and by bike.
