Fun-Freedom-Scenic Views

Discover the beauty of Newaygo from an entirely new perspective. Our boats make it easy to unwind whether you’re cruising, fishing, or spending quality time with friends and family while soaking in some of the area’s most scenic views.

The Hardy Dam backwaters stretch across more than 50 miles of shoreline, featuring sandy spots perfect for swimming, lounging, and enjoying the water. From above, the winding waterways even take on the shape of a dragon, adding a unique touch to the landscape.

It’s the perfect place to slow down and explore—cruise along calm waters, anchor in a quiet cove, or dive in for a swim in depths reaching up to 110 feet near the dam.

When you’re out on Hardy and ready to refuel with lunch or a sweet treat and ice cream, make your way to River Ridge Landing to fuel up.

For those looking to venture onto land, nearby trails offer excellent hiking and mountain biking opportunities, including the well-known The Dragon Trail.
