The Trail is marked with a triangle sign (with a footprint) or bollards to keep you on track, although the signage is quite minimal. The trail consists of a mixture of sealed pathways and bush tracks, and can be very muddy and slippery when wet.
The trail officially begins at Burlong Park and loops around the Avon River. The trail goes downstream (North-East), taking walkers past the overhead train track, Pool Street Bridge remains and the Suspension Bridge, all the way to the Northam Weir. From here, follow the Mortlock River which joins the Avon River northward towards Katrine Road. The second half of the trail follows the opposite side of the river, passing the pony club, Bert Hawke Reserve, and the Kep track, before returning to Burlong Park.
There are many bridges for crossing the Avon River throughout the trail, and you might see some white swans!
