Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail

By 1998 the trail was continuous from Maroondah Highway, Lilydale to the site of the former Warburton station, with only a relatively short section between Lilydale Station and Maroondah Highway remaining incomplete.

•

The trail's compacted gravel surface between Lilydale and Millgrove is pram and wheelchair friendly and accommodates activities such as walking, cycling and horse riding.

•

The longest unbroken section begins on the south side of Maroondah Highway approximately 1 km east of Lilydale railway station and continues all the way to Warburton.

•

Heading from Lilydale station along the original route, the trail begins to take shape at the northern end of the station’s eastern car park and continues for about 800 metres to an historical bridge where the original alignment of Anderson Street passed over the railway.
