The Skeleton Creek Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which follows Skeleton Creek as it passes through the outer western suburb of Point Cook in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The northern end of the path comes within 800 metres of the Federation Trail. As of 2010[update] the intervening Princes Highway eliminates any possibility of traversing between these two points.
As of 2010[update] a new footbridge at the southern end of Skeleton Creek, extends the Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail to the far side of Skeleton Creek at Sunflower Walk. This trail will eventually continue to the Point Cook Coastal park and homestead maintained by Parks Victoria as development at Sanctuary Lakes Resort continues. As of 2010[update] access to Point Cook Road via the south side of Sanctuary Lakes is not possible due to construction works in progress. Access to the path on the west side heading up stream is via Sunflower Walk, Sanctuary Lakes Estates Boulevard and Bayside Drive.
The upper section starts just north of Sayers Road. Further south is a footbridge across the creek leading to the "Flagmans Welcome". Stay on the west side. About 3 km from Sayers Road the path meets the Federation Trail.
