Mystic Park is what Bright is all about. It’s a community-run bike park, set in the midst of an active plantation. It’s considered to have some of the best mountain biking runs in Australia.
The walk is a 1.5km out and back walk from Deacon Avenue and Zivan Court up the steep side of the valley, which then ends at the Huggins Lookout post.
The park is a playground with pipes and old gold dredge buckets dumping water on those waiting below. Surrounding the area are a few water cannons to really up the fun.
The Bright Canyon Walk is a 3km loop hike that takes you along the Ovens River and through a scenic gorge, known as Bright Canyon.
The Ringers Reef Winery is one of the best places to sample local wines. It was founded in the late 1800s by a gold specimen. Today, the area is less about mining gold and more about producing wine.
