Lake Wendouree Loop Ride

Ballarat In The Know, using City of Ballarat content, describes this as a 10 kilometre return ride with a gentle grade suitable for all riding experience levels. The route starts opposite Ballarat Railway Station, uses quiet back streets, joins the gravel shared path around Lake Wendouree, and returns along the dedicated off-road shared path through historic Sturt Street. The listing notes minimal road crossings, nearby cafes and attractions, farmers' market timing on the second and fourth Saturday of the month, and a suggested 1.5 to 2 hours for the main loop plus extra time for stops.
