| State Park Overview: |
| Newaygo State Park is a 99-site rustic campground, which sits atop 20-foot embankments overlooking the Hardy Dam Pond, a six-mile flooding of the Muskegon River. The park caters primarily to campers, anglers and recreational boaters. There are several picnic sites overlooking the reservoir for day users. The campground is nestled in oak and poplar forests and is noted for its large, private sites and scenic beauty. There is a 20-30 foot forested buffer between sites, and each site is provided with a picnic table and a fire ring. |

A great primitive park.
A great little secret north of Grand Rapids. The campground is in the woods and the boat ramp is very close and the lake great.

Great park with lots to do.
They just opened a disc golf course. Challenging but fun. The state park rents kayaks so you can troll around the Hardy Dam. It is a beautiful campground. I hope they add a bathroom building so we can stay longer.

| Picnicking: |
| The park has two playground areas and a small beach for children and adults who wish to cool off from the summer heat. Two playground areas are provided. |
| Boating: |
| The park's protected harbor and easy access to the Hardy Dam Pond attract many recreational boaters, water skiers and anglers each year. Water levels on the reservoir can be maintained at a high level in contrast to the declining water levels of the Great Lakes. The access site parking lot holds about 65 vehicle/ trailer combinations and alleviates traffic congestion on the park roads. |
| Fishing and Hunting: |
| The primary game fish are walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass. A wide variety of panfish are also available in the Muskegon River. |
