Rail Trails are multi-purpose recreational trails that are built along closed railway corridors in regional Victoria.

The primary function of rail trails is to provide for recreational cyclists and other users such as horse riders and walkers.

The Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) has the primary responsibility for managing the crown land that the Rail Trails are on. Local committees and Councils are responsible for implementing bicycle facilities on Rail Trails.

Further information on rail trails can also be obtained from Rail Trails Australia and Bicycle Victoria.
