Enjoy the best of both worlds along this gentle trail at the interface between urban Wodonga and bushland, with excellent vistas over town.
This easily accessible, slightly elevated, trail runs along the back of homes in West Wodonga at the base of Federation Hill.
Offers excellent views at almost any point across urban Wodonga, Albury and out to surrounding hills and ranges.
The trail is wide, the surface is fairly even and gently undulating in places - although mostly flat over all. Also suitable for bicycles - you will need to navigate the entry gates.
There are many access points along the trail from surrounding streets, including via Wattle Park at McCulloch Cres (where there is a small number of car parking spaces), Barton Dve, Ballara Dve and McGaffins Rd.
The access points make it easy to create a loop incorporating the urban footpath and street network. Or for more of a challenge, there are several trails running up the hill - where the short but steep climb leads to more expansive views over town and the rural landscape.
*Dog friendly (on-leash only). Stock are occasionally used here to keep the grass down.
Distance and estimated time here are for one way walk. A return, end to end, walk would be approx. 9km and 2+hrs.

The trail is easily accessed at multiple points, including this one from Ballara Drive
This end of the trail looks across town towards Huon Hill and the Baranduda Range. The trail does continue up into the hill at this end - turn at the gate and return or climb into the hill.
This trail is a good opportunity to experience the local environment, kangaroos and birds are abundant in the adjoining hill.
There are multiple points where you can head up the hill for a longer or more challenging loop
This is the only point of the trail that might be confusing, as there is a bend and junctions with other trails. If you stay alongside the house fences you'll stay on route.
The western end of the trail offers a different perspective, away from town.
There are a number of gates to navigate along the trail.
Dogs must be on a lead. Cyclists will need to be able to navigate the access gates.
The trail exits onto McGaffins Rd at this point
