Horseshoe Bend Road Shared Path is a dog walk in Armstrong Creek, VIC, where the route winds through developing residential area with green spaces, sports fields, and native vegetation, connecting to various community facilities and other walking trails.

The walk

Underfoot it is sealed and gravel paths.

Lead rules

City of Greater Geelong manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

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 Armstrong Creek for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Armstrong Creek suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Warralily Boulevard Shared Path is the other local walk worth comparing.
