The Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail is a cycling and walking rail trail in northern Victoria, Australia. It extends from Wangaratta to Bright, with a side branch to Beechworth, following the route of the former Bright railway line. Unusually for a rail trail, it is sealed for virtually the entire distance of approximately 95 kilometres.
