Michigan’s Dragon at Hardy Dam is a linear Newaygo County Park jointly managed by the Newaygo and Mecosta County Park Commissions and the West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance. All 45miles are now open for the public to enjoy. Check out the official Dragon Trail website for detailed information about the trail. Please check the Dragon Trail’s Official Facebook Page for current trail conditions. 

The Dragon Trail runs through Sandy Beach County Park, which offers camping and day-use amenities and serves as the main year-round trailhead for the Dragon on Trail Segments 9 and 10. Additional parking can be found at Hardy Dam County Marina in the southeast parking lot next to Hardy Dam. A Newaygo County Parks Motor Vehicle Permit is required to park at both locations and can be purchased at the self-registration stations or from Park Staff when available.
