The 37Km Port Fairy to Warrnambool Rail Trail Links the historic towns of Port Fairy and Koroit with the regional city of Warrnambool.
Passing through open farming country, and remnant vegetation, the trail skirts the volcano at Tower Hill and traverses wetlands, coastal sand dunes, and rivers to the sea.
The section of the trail from Port Fairy to Koroit is gradually upward to just past the Koroit Railway Station and then drops down to the Princes Highway at Illowa.
From Illowa the trail follows along the Illowa road, crosses Kelly's Swamp wetlands, and the Merri River before reaching the Warrnambool Breakwater.
