Beginning in Wonthaggi and winding its way to the beautiful coastline of Inverloch, the Wonthaggi to Inverloch Trail offers one of Bass Coast's most enjoyable walking and cycling experiences. Stretching approximately 14 kilometres, the shared-use trail takes visitors through picturesque farmland, pockets of native bushland and peaceful rural landscapes before arriving at the stunning beaches of Inverloch.

One of the trail's greatest attractions is its flexibility.

Start your journey in Wonthaggi and enjoy a leisurely ride or walk towards the coast, or begin in Inverloch and travel inland — the choice is yours. Complete the entire trail or simply explore a shorter section before returning to your starting point. There are several convenient access points in Wonthaggi, including the gravel trail entrance near Mitre 10 on Billson Street or via the Wonthaggi Centennial Centre along Fincher Street, where clear trail signage marks the way.

Perfect for cyclists, walkers, runners, families, dog owners and nature lovers, the trail caters to all ages and fitness levels, making it a fantastic outdoor activity throughout the year.

The experience extends well beyond the trail itself.

Start your day in Wonthaggi exploring its vibrant town centre, cafés, heritage attractions and local shops before setting off towards Inverloch. Finish your journey with a relaxing stroll along the beach, a meal at one of Inverloch's cafés or restaurants, or simply soak up the coastal atmosphere. Alternatively, begin in Inverloch and discover everything Wonthaggi has to offer on the return journey.

Connecting two of Bass Coast's most popular destinations, the trail provides the perfect excuse to spend a full day exploring the region and encourages visitors to experience the unique character of both towns.

Designed as a safe, off-road shared pathway, the trail features a combination of gravel and concrete surfaces, boardwalk sections, rest areas, interpretive signage and improved pedestrian connections, creating an enjoyable experience for users of all abilities.
