Fun-Freedom-Scenic Views
What to do in Newaygo? 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. Getting out on the water is one of the best things you can do in Newaygo.
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.
If you'd like to explore beyond the water, The Dragon Trail offers outstanding hiking and mountain biking experiences. Dragon Trail provides miles of scenic trails for outdoor enthusiasts.
Dragon Adventures Base Camp offers Pivot mountain bike rentals, shuttle service to the trail, luxury cabins, and campsites—making it the perfect place to relax and recharge after a day of adventure
