Hike the Lights

Hike the Lights is a free event, where we turn our ski trail lights on from sunset until 10pm, every night of the week.

At Muskegon Luge we have over 4 miles of lighted ski/hiking trails ranging from beginner, accessible trails to intermediate with large hills. A headlamp might be helpful on longer, dark sections of trails.

Dogs are welcome too! We love your four legged friends, and just ask that you keep them on a 6 ft. lead and pick up after them.

*This is a lighted trail walk, not a “light show trail”. Lights turn off promptly at 10PM due to State Park rules
