About the Pioneer Rail Trail

This railside trail is sealed and family friendly, suitable for all kinds of bicycles, mobility scooters and prams. Interpretive signs explain the history of the railway line and the region. It extends for 6 km and the gradient is gentle. It meanders through Central Tablelands farming country between Oberon and Hazelgrove.

The Oberon Tarana Heritage Railway group is proposing to run trains on the line but continues to battle red tape.

The trail from Oberon Railway Station is now overgrown [2009]

Giant pine products factory dominates the skyline near Oberon [2025]
