The track is aimed at encourage walking and biking to the new Elgin High School for pupils and  other members of the community.
The 1km long path has been funded by sustainable travel charity Sustrans.
Moray Council transportation technician Katherine Forrest said it offered safe space for cyclists and pedestrians.
A £310,000 project to provide a traffic-free route for cyclists and pedestrians through a busy part of Elgin has been completed.
