Eastlink & Dandenong Creek Trail (Wheelers Hill)
The Eastlink & Dandenong Creek Trail shared path which starts and finishes at Jells Park is a 16km loop through Melbourne's eastern suburbs along the EastLink and Dandenong Creek trails. The trail passes through Jells Park, Koomba Park and Bushy Park Wetlands and includes Chesterfield Farm. javaScript Cafe (645 Burwood Hwy, Vermont South) is a good pit stop.
The surface is mainly sealed and smooth but there is compact gravel south along the Dandenong Creek Trail.
If you want to extend the route, cycle further north along the EastLink Trail through the Mullum Mullum valley to add on extra distance and hills before turning back towards Jells Park.
The western side of the loop (grey line on the map) is the Dandenong Creek Trail and the remainder of the loop (green line on the map) is the Eastlink trail.
At Jells Park, there is a lot of free parking, three playgrounds including the spectacular Yabbie Hill Playspace, a kiosk for takeaway, ice creams and coffee and Madeline's at Jells restaurant.
