Frankston to Baxter Trail

Frankston to Baxter Trail is a dog walk in Baxter, VIC, where the route follows the Stony Point railway line, offering rural landscapes and access to the Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve.

The walk

Underfoot it is asphalt and concrete.

Lead rules

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and Frankston City Council manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Baxter for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing
