Following the path
The path passes through or near to:
The trail ends at Dandenong Creek in Dandenong South at the Dandenong Creek Trail. The Dandenong Creek Trail then follows the tollway as far as Bangholme. It then heads west, taking users to the National Watersports Complex, Patterson Lakes, Carrum Foreshore, and the Bayside Trail beyond.
Footbridges cross EastLink at a number of points along the trail, and another takes path users across the Princes Highway.
Two additional footbridges completed construction in 2009: A footbridge over Maroondah Highway and a 60 m footbridge over Burwood Highway at the intersection with Mountain Highway.
