4. Banyule Forest Ride
The Banyule Forest Ride is one of Echuca’s true local secrets — a peaceful bush escape right on the edge of town. With winding forest tracks, Murray River views, and plenty of spots to stop and relax, it’s a favourite among locals who love exploring nature on two wheels.
Starting the Ride: Echuca Aquatic Reserve
Begin behind the Echuca Aquatic Reserve on Heygarth Street. From here, follow the path toward the historic Echuca–Moama Bridge. As you enter the Banyule Forest area, you’ll find a network of tracks and trails to explore.

When you’re ready to head back, ride up Middle Track toward Pakenham Street. Just before you reach Pakenham Street, you can also turn right onto the levee bank track, which loops you back to the Echuca Aquatic Reserve.

Optional Extension: Cape Horn Winery
