Great ride for everyone. The red loop is easily the most fun. My older daughter (a very aggressive 12 yo) and I ride the whole red loop. My wife and younger daughter join us for most of the red loop but skip the harder sections such as Granny's Garden. For most of the trail the whole family can join because most obstacles can be ridden around by younger or less experienced riders. This means that both younger or inexperienced riders and advanced riders can enjoy the same loop. This is easily the best ride in the area.

Awesome trail! My most favorite around. Very well maintained trails. The "Trenches", "Rocks n' Roots", and "Grannies Garden" have to be my most favorite sections. Awesome ride for beginners and experts. Happy riding!

This is one of the best maintained trails and well marked trails that I have seen in Mi. I rode the Red loop which was an 8 mile loop, and is rated the most difficult. I had a blast riding this loop. Granny's Garden, the Amusement Park, and Cardiac HIll are just a few of the fun names that are printed on the trail map that I recieved @ the DNR booth at the park gate. Excellent trail, I would recommend giving it a try.

Fort Custer has 3 great loops and one OK loop. The trails are well maintained and the signs are great. The red and green loops get the most usage. Red has 3 memorable, but manageable, climbs and fun Army training trenches to ride through as well as a good mix of XC and technical sections. The green has two track, tight singletrack, a few switchback climbs and log crossings. All managable by an intermediate rider with good lungs. The yellow is a great beginner's trail. If it has been dry for a while, there may be some sandy spots. The blue trail, which starts at a different trailhead, is the 4th choice for most riders. The South West Chapter of MMBA does a good job working on these trails. Trails are open to horseback riding, hiking, dog sled training and hunting.

Similar Trail: Yankee Springs, Poto.
