Starting at the beautiful Brimbank Park bushland reserve, this bike path follows Melbourne's lesser known river, the Maribyrnong, 22 kilometres from the outer north-western suburbs into the city. Rated as suitable for beginners to intermediate level, the surface is mainly quartz, gravel and asphalt, with some unsurfaced spots. There are also a couple of fences, stairs and sand patches to negotiate. Watch out for snakes during summer. Highlights on the way include Flemington Racecourse and great city views.
