Section 4 is approx 24km long running from the Werribee River just south of Werribee to Brooklyn at Millers Road.
The trail is a 'sprayseal' surface that is flat for the entire length of the trail. The trail is completely off road and there are traffic lights at any busy road crossings.
It is suitable for riders and walkers of all ages and experience.
The trail follows the historic Melbourne Outfall Sewer reserve that has heritage aquaducts and impressive red brick channels. The reserve is well vegetated for much of the trail and there are a number of parks including the Skeleton Creek Reserve in Hoppers Crossing and the Lawrie Emmins Reserve in Laverton North
The best spots for a coffee and refreshments are a short ride up the Werribee River Trail into Werribee or a short detour into Hoppers Crossing.
