On Fri., Mar. 14, 1941, the “Michigan Mirror” column in The Cass City Chronicle said:
The Newaygo winter sport park on M-37 has a toboggan slide, skating rinks and natural ski runs. A second toboggan slide is planned for 1942.
I do not know if the area was near the Newago State Park on the Hardy Dam Pond or closer to the town of Newago, although M-37 does not run close to the park.
On Jan 4, 1975, The Cass City Chronicle printed the AAA Guide to Michigan’s Skiing Areas which listed Newago County Winter Park as having 1 slope and 1 tow. The address given was Rt 4, box 420.
If you have any information about skiing in the Newago area, please post it or send it to us via the directions on the About MILSAP page.
On M37, concrete toboggan 2 chutes still there, ex ski hill open for sledding, refurbished recently, Newaygo tourism office on site. Snowmobiling trail across street w parking.
