Luge

Come to the place Olympic luge hopefuls train and experience for yourself
the grueling ride on an ice-covered track aboard a luge, a sled you steer.
Lucy Hill Naturbahn track is the only one of its kind in the United States and
one of only five lighted luge hills in the world. The half-mile hill features 29 curves
and has an 88-meter vertical drop.

Public trail riding is available most weekend afternoons. Instruction and equipment is provided. The bottom one-sixth of the track is used.

For more information, call the Negaunee Luge and the Marquette Luge
Association, (906) 475-LUGE (5843).
