Land OwnerIndigo Shire Council
Designed to be ridden in a clockwise fashion, the trail begins with a sprint in open grassland before entering the trees and gradually descending. While suitable for the entry level rider, the combination of rocks and multiple gradient changes pose a challenge for the more accomplished rider wanting to lay down a fast lap. Multiple short but technical descents into the shaded gullies beside the rail trail are followed by snaking switchbacked climbs.
Access Info
There’s a fast snaking run-out that marks the end of the downhill – a quick right hand around a knoll and across the rail trail and you’re at the beginning of the uphill leg. Towards the top of the climb the trail snakes on and off the rail trail before finishing on the open grass plain that marked the beginning of the loop.

I parked at Baarmutha Station (small car park - around 5-6 cars max.) on the Rail Trail and rode down to the trail head. There was a sign approx. 550m from the station site indicating the trail start, next to the vineyard but the trail was overgrown and not visible.
I continued on to where Diffey Road pulls up alongside the rail trail (near Baarmutha Wines) and again got lost - the Flame Trees trail stays near the rail trail! If you end up on Diffeys Road, you've gone too far.
Once on the Flame Trees trail, I found it a great little track. There are several blue side lines to take and a great mix of tech with small sections of flow. The return back up the other side was easier to find and that trail too was great fun. The dead blackberries near the top were a pain but hopefully the recent spraying does the trick.
I'd highly recommend this trail to families with young kids or MTB's who are starting out (that's me) - a huge plus was the rail trail nearby that can be accessed numerous times from Flame Trees, so if you're tired or just want to ride in support, there's an easy alternative.
An excellent ride and I'd definitely do it again next time I'm in Beechworth.
