About This Trail
A surprising suburban shared path, the Ringwood to Belgrave rail trail (17km) gets more interesting as it joins the former route of the Puffing Billy Railway into the tall timber of the Dandenong Ranges. This trail runs beside the Belgrave suburban line from Ringwood, with a few station carparks to navigate along the way. From Upper Ferntree Gully, it is mainly asphalt and follows the route of the Puffing Billy Railway, which was replaced with a straighter, broad-gauge electrified line as far as Belgrave in 1962. Puffing Billy now operates from there to Gembrook. There is a reasonable climb into the Dandenong Ranges, with roadside shared path sections near Upwey and Tecoma and a steep section approaching Belgrave. Ringwood to Ferntree Gully (10km): A wide shared path with a predominantly concrete surface that passes through a variety of suburbs Ferntree Gully to Belgrave (7km): This section is a work in progress and mainly asphalt as it climbs into the hills
