Craving some time outside? You’re in luck, because Albury Wodonga has enough outdoorsie fun to keep you busy all weekend.
From mellow river trails to high-octane mountain biking, here’s your checklist of must-do activities in the great outdoors.
Kayaking and Canoeing
Let the mighty Murray sweep you along while you take in the river red gums and resident wildlife.
- Canoe the Murray: Casual floats, full-day adventures and everything in between. Perfect if you like the idea of being swept along by the current while you take it all in with plenty of peace and quiet.
- Murray River Canoe Hire: Choose from 90-minute paddles to multi-day river expeditions. Ideal for those who want to feel like explorers without actually being that far from a bakery.
Cycling
Albury Wodonga is built for bikes – whether you’re after a slow pedal by the river or a full-blown hill climb that makes it difficult to walk for the next three days.
- AV Cycling Tours run guided rides with local insights and regular snack stops.
- The Wagirra Trail and Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk offer smooth riverside riding with art, culture and plenty of wildlife-spotting potential.
Mountain Biking
For those who like their time in nature to be exhilarating, the local MTB trails have got your back (and quads). There are green, blue and black runs to ensure all ages and adrenaline needs are met.
- Nail Can Hill is a favourite for switchbacks, single tracks and lookouts over Albury.
- Hunchback Hill MTB Park offers trails for all levels.
Walking and Hiking
For a slow, quiet and soothing outdoor adventure, soak it all in on one of our favourite trails:
- Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk features Aboriginal art and cultural storytelling that will linger long in your memory after the walk ends.
- The Wagirra Trail winds along the Murray’s edge, perfect for walking, jogging, or pushing prams or wheelchairs.
- Big Budginigi Hill offers breathtaking views for explorers who don’t mind a good hill climb.
- Wonga Wetlands offers bird hides, billabongs and plenty of wildlife activity.
Swimming, Boating and Floating
Ready to cool off?
- Lake Hume is your one-stop shop for everything wet: swimming, fishing and paddleboarding.
- Noreuil Park Foreshore is a great spot for a dip, or bring your floaty of choice, walk upstream and casually cruise downstream with the river’s current. Get out at the bend, walk back up the path and do it all over again.
Golfing
For those who like their outdoor adventures with a scorecard and some friendly competition, we have some great golf options for you:
- Thurgoona Country Club Resort offers 18 championship holes and an excellent driving range for practising your swing.
- Albury Commercial Golf Club also boasts a full 18-hole layout and is a top spot to stay and play. Lush fairways, local kangaroos and a friendly clubhouse vibe.
- SS&A Albury offers a high-tech virtual experience that feels like the real thing but with the ability to play golf courses all around the world in one place (and no sunscreen required).
Play and Snack
Sometimes, all you need is a shady spot, a snack platter and no expectations. Let the kids or dogs burn energy while you enjoy the fine art of sitting.
- Belvoir Park has slides, swings, a lake full of ducks and plenty of green space for zoomies (canine or human).
- Oddies Creek Adventure Play Space is next-level: flying foxes, massive climbing frames and inclusive design for various abilities.
- Noreuil Park is riverside perfection, with room to play, lounge, swim and indulge in a perfectly poured latte – all in one handy location.
