RAIL TRAIL ETIQUETTE

The Rail Trails and shared paths in the Ovens and Kiewa Valleys are popular trails used by both walkers and cyclists, and sometimes horses. To ensure your enjoyment, and the enjoyment of others, please share the trail and be courteous to other users, respect the natural environment and be considerate of residents that live nearby. Thank you and enjoy!

SHARE THE PATH

  • Keep left and do not obstruct the trail for those who may like to overtake you
  • Move off the trail when you stop to let others pass
  • Cyclists, when overtaking, alert others of your presence by calling out "passing on your right" or ringing your bell
  • Cyclists, reduce speed when overtaking
  • Always slow down and keep a safe distance if approaching horses

DOGS

  • Dogs are permitted on the rail trails and shared paths
  • Please keep your dog on a leash and under control while using the trail
  • Carry dog poo bags and clean up after your dog. Never leave a dog poo bag on the ground or tied to a tree – take it with you and dispose of it in a bin. We recommend the use of environmentally friendly plastic-free compostable bags.

LEAVE NO TRACE

  • Never litter. If a bin is not nearby, it is important that you take your rubbish with you. Our region is home to a number of endangered species, such as platypus, for which litter can cause death, injury or serious illness.
  • Keep to the track while walking or cycling to avoid cutting new paths alongside the trail
  • Do not remove or damage native plants
  • Do not feed or interfere with wildlife
  • Never light a fire on a Total Fire Ban day

SAFETY

  • Cyclists must wear a helmet while riding.
  • Always stop at road crossings and give way to vehicle traffic.
  • Young or inexperienced cyclists should dismount when crossing a road.
  • Carry drinking water and snacks.
  • Cyclists, carry repair and first aid kits.
  • Observe signage and regulations.
  • In an emergency, look for your nearest Emergency Marker to help emergency services find you. Emergency Markers are located every 1km along the Rail Trail.
