Ballarat to Skipton Rail Trail Cycling

57 km One Way, Easy, Flat, Unsealed Rail Trail

Enjoy travelling past plains and remnant native scrub-land forests that once would have been home to thousands of miners and their families. As you journey along, see if you can see evidence of mounds, dips or rusty iron left over from the miners digging up the countryside searching for their elusive alluvial fortune. Take time to explore and appreciate the architecture of the old mining towns. Enjoy a hot coffee or tasty snack.

The Clarkesdale Bird Sanctuary with its wide range of habitats is a haven for native birds.
