Situated in Galloway Forest Park, the largest forest park in the UK is home to some of the best technical single biking track in the country.

Mabie Forest lies a few miles south of Dumfries and is strikingly beautiful. Catering for beginners right through to expert riders, it also hosts a fun skills area.

The current trail system at Fort Custer was developed by the Southwest Michigan Mountain Biking Association (SWMMBA). Existing roads within the Park were linked to singletrack loops that were designed from scratch. The Amusement Park was built in 1993, with subsequent construction of The Trenches, Rocks and Roots, Granny's Garden, Crazy Beaver, and the entire Green Loop. Trail markers were purchased and installed by the SWMMBA as well. The Blue Loop was marked using preexisting trails. The Horse Friends group added trail markers to the system in 2005, encouraging equestrians and bikers to ride in opposite directions for improved safety. The Sled Dog group added markers in 2006.
