This trail had a few areas under water following recent heavy rain. Follows along scenic water courses and lakes and has a variety of bird life. Quite busy on weekends and public holidays. Mainly good quality surfaces with some recent repairs.
3. Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail

5.0 based on 9 reviews
This is a coastal trail that is about 20km in length. It is suitable for cyclists and walkers and is well made in concrete. It passes through many parks along the way. Along the way there will be areas where food, water and toilets are available.

We had a pleasant walk along the Hobson's Bay Coastal Trial between Williamstown Botanical Gardens and the Altona Pier on a sunny Sunday morning. This section has coastal views near Williamstown then skirts the northern edges of the Jawbone Flora and Fauna Reserve (where some side trips are worthwhile) and Paisley-Challis wetlands, heads up to cross Kororoit Creek along some industrial area before rejoining the coast at PA Burns Reserve. The path is suitable for walking and bikes and wasn't too heavily frequented. Toilets were located near the Williamstown and Altona ends but were a bit hard to find in between. It is possible to walk from West Gate Bridge to Williamstown via the Bay Trail. We have previously done this and it is pleasant too and of similar quality and hugs the Yarra river and the coastline more with a variety of surfaces. A side trip to ScienceWorks is possible. The Point Gellibrand Coastal Heritage Park was quite blowy when we did that section and you take the bitumen road through the industrial port area. The path is very well maintained and easy to walk on. At the end we enjoyed a meal in the Altona shopping strip and then took the train back from Altona to Williamstown (via Newport) so we only had to walk one way.

A sunny day and a pleasant walk around the Clifton Hill area. I do like how the bridges allow entry and exit from the Trail enabling people to build the right sized adventure. I love the bridge at Rushall railway station where the Capital City Trail joins the Merri Creek one.

Underrated and sometimes forgotten when visiting St.Kilda beach, but worth coming if you’re nearby if you want some quiet space. As you can see it’s pretty well lit up during night. Plenty of benches, there’s a public toilet, some drinking fountain, a lovely rotunda in the middle and its very well maintained. Nice place to chill or have a picnic.

We walk our dogs here every day. It's very restful with friendly walkers and runners but not too many of them! Lots of birds and native plants.

This trail wends its way from Ferntree Gully all the way to Jells Park where it joins the Dandenong Creek Trail. Such a fascinating place to walk; but keep an eye out for wayward cycle riders.
