WHAT TO EXPECT

The Saltwater Creek to Frankston Reservoir trail is a moderate hike (166m of elevation) and requires a reasonable level of fitness to complete. 

This hike includes stairs, some hills, occasionally walking on the road and boardwalks which can be slippery when wet.  

The trail includes some beautiful views of the bay, some great lookouts, trail bridges, boardwalks, native fauna and the Frankston Reservoir Dam Wall Walk.  

Starting from the Frankston Surf Living Saving Club, this hike is around 14kms return. 

The Hike should take between 3.5 to 4 hours to complete depending on our pace and how long we stop for lunch.

The Hike will finish up at the Hotel Lona in Frankston where we can enjoy a post hike drink.
