The Baco Trails at Castlemaine are located in the Walmer Forest Reserve to the west of town behind the bacon factory (hence the name). For the ride described below, I headed out on Daws Road and parked at the Centre and Border Track which is on the left as you head out of town.

This trail is set in a gum forest and the trails are very similar as you head around the forest reserve. Most trails are of gentle ascent or descent and the trails flow nicely. The photos below are of the Chasing the Bacon race circuit which was largely conducted over single track but made a bit of use of the management tracks as well.

To the north are the Walmer Forest (Wattle Flat) Trails which can be used to extend any rides.

Refer to the MTB Channel for further Victorian trail videos.

	Parking is widely available. I parked for this ride at the intersection of Centre and Border Tracks which is just off Daws Road (on the left heading out from Castlemaine). This allows access to both the Walmer and Bacos trails from the same location.
