The 38 km Warburton Rail Trail links the outer east Melbourne suburb of Lilydale with the town of Warburton.
It was built on the alignment of the former Lilydale-Warburton railway, which closed down in 1984.
The Trail is very popular with walkers, horseriders, dogs-on-leashes, and cyclists, and is a recognized tourist attraction. There are several entry/exit access points, allowing "step-on" and "step-off" access.
The most scenic section is between Killara and Woori Yallock, with superb views towards the Yarra Ranges across farmland and the river flats.
I did the 15 km section (30 km return) between Seville and Launching Place on August 19 and 20, 2006, on my 21-speed mountain bike, a bit quicker that walking it!
