Following the Path

  • The trail appears to end at Armstrongs Road, Seaford, however it continues at the end of Wilson Grove.
  • North of the Eel Race Drain footbridge, the trail splits into two. Take the trail on the left to ride north-east through Roy Dore Reserve in Carrum. The trail on the right heads east towards Patterson Lakes shopping centre, and eventually connects with the Dandenong Creek Trail.
  • A set of pedestrian lights have been installed on busy McLeod Road, Carrum, opposite McDougall Reserve. On the northern side of the crossing is Launching Way, where the trail continues towards the Patterson River boat launching ramps, where the trail then heads south-west for a short distance (0.5 km) towards the bay.
  • A caged cycling/pedestrian bridge crosses Patterson River parallel to the railway bridge and Nepean Highway. Once on the north bank, the trail heads north-east, inland, for approximately 2 km, then down an embankment, now heading north-west.
  • The trail continues to head north-east, going under the railway bridge at Mordialloc, with an underpass at Nepean Highway shortly after crossing over the Mordialloc Creek bridge.
  • From Mordialloc onward, the trail now runs along the coast between the sand and Beach Road. A short gravel section of the trail between Mordialloc and Parkdale is narrow and runs between the sand dunes. It connects with a concrete section that runs beneath the cliffs, ending at McBean Ramp in Beaumaris.
  • From McBean Ramp, the trail heads south-west. A 750 metre section of the trail is missing between McBean Ramp and the Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron, near Cromer Road. Cyclists in either direction should probably use Beach Road. Pedestrians may use the path that follows the cliff's edge, parallel to Beach Road.
  • From Cromer Road onward, the trail is concrete, with a dashed line in the centre, heading south-west for 1 km, reaching Table Rock Point in Beaumaris.

Bay Trail: Bayside/Joinville Park to Bayfront ParkSan Mateo to Millbrae (2620 words)
Most of the Bay Trail along this route is exposed to the full force of the bay winds, which tend to blow southeast down the bay.
The Bay Trail segment here, dubbed the Gerry R. Mon Memorial Trail, is a straight path on a levee along the edge of the bay, running between parallel rows of towering power lines.
The trail turns left at the edge of the marina, crosses the park road, and enters the Eucalyptus Picnic Area.
