The Koonung Trail is a sealed shared-use path that follows Koonung Creek through Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Popular with both cyclists and walkers, it runs largely alongside the Eastern Freeway and provides a convenient corridor linking Doncaster, Balwyn North and Box Hill to inner-city trail networks. The trail connects with major routes, such as the Main Yarra Trail, making it an important part of Melbourne’s larger active trail network.
