The Northern Rivers Rail Trail is a shared recreation and nature trail traversing some of the most spectacular countryside in Australia. When completed, the 132 kilometre trail will connect Murwillumbah, before tracking south through the Tweed Valley to Crabbes Creek, through the Byron Shire to Eltham, and on through Lismore and Bentley, finishing at Casino.

Two sections are completed and are now open.

The northern 24 km section connects Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek, passing through Dunbible, Stokers Siding, Burringbar and Mooball. It features 6 km of sealed surface and 18 km of compact gravel that is safe and accessible for all.

You will cross 16 out of 26 bridges and explore two tunnels: the Burringbar Range Tunnel (524 m) and the Hulls Road Tunnel (50 m). The Burringbar Range Tunnel has no lighting to preserve the glow worms and microbats.

You can also discover the southern 29.7 km section that connects Casino to Lismore, passing Naughtons Gap Tunnel, numerous creeks and historic railway bridges. It also features a bridle pathway running parallel to the main trail, allowing horse riders a set path for over 20 km from Casino towards Lismore.
