I’ve visited Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park in West Michigan multiple times over the years in both the winter for the ice skating trail and the luge and in the summer for the wheel luge track.
The adventure park continues to build and expand each season. They provide unique opportunities for visitors to step outside of their comfort zone and connect with nature through outdoor adventure.
…If you are looking for fun things to do in Muskegon, Michigan, start with Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park.
Park visitors get the best of both worlds when it comes to location. Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park is a 501-c3 non-profit located within Muskegon State Park next to Lake Michigan.

Michigan has a lot to offer when it comes to unique things to do in the winter.
Don’t let the cold weather discourage you from experiencing these amazing winter outdoor adventures during your next vacation getaway in the Mitten State.

I love when plans work out for a spontaneous adventure. My friend was already coming to town, so I just offered her the “choose your own adventure” option for her visit.
Try the luge, cross-country skiing or attend an ice sculpture festival. I was sooo excited that she wanted to try the luge too.

So here is the start of the running tab. I reserve the right to add to the list as my curiosity continues to become aware of new places and experiences to try. Some are way more ambitious than others, but I figured I might as well go with the quote “shoot for the moon and if you miss you are still among the stars” Travel wise I would love to go all over the world but gotta start a little smaller.The list could really go on and on…….this is just scratching the surface . So I guess this is my start but I don’t ever want to stop adding.
Remember a “Goal is dream with a deadline.” Don’t let time get away from your dreams.
“If you want to do something bad enough, you will find a way, if not you find an excuse.”
What’s on your list? What should I add to mine? Who wants to join me?
I had been wanting to check out the luge track in Muskegon, Michigan for awhile, so when I heard you that could try a luge track in the summer, I knew this would be fun for the boys and I to try.
