Learn to Luge on This One of a Kind Luge Track in Muskegon

If you've always wanted to learn how to luge but had no idea where to start. I'm happy to tell you that there's a place in western Michigan that will literally teach you how. The Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park offers luge lessons every weekend.

The Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park luge track is one of only four luge tracks in the United States. According to their website, it's the only kunstbahn track (German for artificial track) made from natural ice and not refrigerated.

Their track is 850ft and was designed by three-time Olympian Frank Masley. You'll hit speeds of 30 MPH while twisting and turning around its six curves.
