New Trail Signs
Muskegon State Park trails are now easier to navigate thanks to new signage installed in 2024 by Muskegon Luge, Run Muskegon, and the Michigan DNR. Trail maps are available at Muskegon Luge and Snug Harbor Trailheads.
Accessibility on the Trails
Muskegon Luge and Muskegon State Park prioritize accessibility. Many trails are wheelchair and stroller-friendly with packed dolomite surfaces. The DNR offers a free all-terrain track chair (reservation required: (231) 744-9629).
Thank You To Our Community Partners
Wellness Week is presented by Trinity Health Muskegon who provided funding and support to make this event free for all to enjoy. We'd also like to thank Run Muskegon, Trinity Health Seaway Run and the Michigan DNR for their support of our mission and continued improvement of Muskegon State Park's hiking trails
