Winter

As soon as the Michigan snow flies, Muskegon Luge and Adventure Sports Park get prepped to provide a variety of fun winter activities! Including winter luge, ice skating, winter hikes, and so much more.

Winter Luge

Experience one of only four luge tracks in the United States right here in Michigan at Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park! Better yet, it is the only artificial track that is made from artificial ice and not refrigerated – How cool is that? Participants are given equipment and training before embarking on this Olympian designed 850 ft track, including six curves! Feel like you are in the Winter Olympics as the winter air kisses your cheeks at speeds of up to 30 mph!

Ice Skating

Grab your skates and hit the rink for some good old-fashioned ice skating and hockey! Muskegon Luge’s ice-skating rink is built using the winter air to freeze water which makes the rink. Enjoy a nice skate under the winter sky and a lighted rink in the family skating zone, or bring your sticks and pucks for a little friendly hockey game.

Skate through the Woods

Skip skating in a circle and skate through the woods instead! Embark on a 1/4-mile ice skating trail through the white pine forest. Don’t want to stop when the sun sets? Have no fear, the trail is lighted every night – Perfect for a family night skate or date night!

Cross-Country Skiing

Explore Muskegon State Park in the winter as you maneuver through the trails while cross-country skiing! The majority of the terrain allows for a gentile ski through the woods, dunes, and Lost Lake. However, if you are in for a challenge, you will want to try Spencer’s Advanced Trail or Verna’s Classic Backwoods Trail. The trails are groomed daily, if weather permits, and accommodate both gliding and skate skiing! All trails are lighted every night until the park closes, so you can pack in as much fun on the winter days.

Easy to Advanced Trails

Our ski trails are well marked, and easy-to-read trail maps are provided with a trail pass. The complex has five different trail systems for all level skiers. Start on an easy, flat trail like the 2.5-kilometer White Night Trail. Our 5-kilometer Lost Lake Trail will take you up on the dune ridge and down to Lost Lake. You can work your way up to Spencer’s Advanced 2 Kilometer Trail or Verna’s Classic Backwoods Trail for a challenge.

Snow Shoeing

Gain access to some breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and Muskegon lake when you snowshoe the trails at Muskegon Luge. The trail system is made up of four loops ranging in difficulty. If you are up for a challenge, you will want to be sure to try Highlands Loop for a great view of Lake Michigan from atop a sand dune! All of the trails are groomed and marked to help guide you along your way. Although the snowshoeing trails are not lighted, they are easily accessible with a quality headlamp.
