The Yarrowee River Trail Network (part of the LINCS Trails in Ballarat) comprises seven off-road trails. Most are in a corridor running from the Gong Gong Reservoir in the northeast of Ballarat, through the CBD and to the south, as far as Magpie. Much of the Canadian Trail is sealed. The other five are granite sand.
The major trail is the Yarrowee Trail, which connects the Gong Gong Reservoir to Magpie. The Ballarat East Trails comprise a further five. The Canadian Trail is the seventh to make up the Network.
