    UPDATED 14 SEPTEMBER 2020

    Elster Creek Trail starts at Elwood Canal, which used to be an open creek. From there it continues east for 1.3 kilometres through Brighton, Gardenvale and Brighton East, before winding up at Allnutt Park, McKinnon.

    Dog leash information

    Elster Creek Trail is an on-leash area, which means you must keep your dog on-leash at all times.
