The Main Yarra Trail follows the Yarra River through Melbourne’s parklands, linking inner-city paths with stretches of native bush in Yarra Bend Park. This shared trail combines sealed sections and compacted gravel, making it suitable for walkers, runners and cyclists. The route follows the river corridor, passing under bridges and through pockets of remnant eucalypt forest. It’s a popular track, so keep left and stay aware of bikes. Shade varies, with cooler conditions along the water.
