How It Works

We want to give you variety and help you see as much of the trail as possible without covering the same section twice! Each Saturday, you can pick from different time slots that work for you, with pickup locations rotating between Dragon Adventures Base Camp and Brower.

How it works:

• Board the Dragon Wagon Shuttle at your scheduled pickup location
• Choose a drop-off point
• Customize your ride or hike to match your distance and pace

These options make it easy and enjoyable for groups of different skill levels to shuttle together—you can start on the bus together, then head back to Base Camp at your own pace or distance (you could even turn it into a friendly race!). Another option is to park at any lot you like, hike or ride to a shuttle stop, and catch your scheduled pickup there. Be sure to reserve your spot online, and if you’re meeting the bus at a stop, give yourself extra time to get there!

We keep the bus stocked with basic nutrition, water, water bottles, tubes, an air pump, maps, a first aid kit, and other items for those “oh crap” moments!

Parking: Free at DABC, Newaygo State Park (with Rec pass), and Operator Village. Other parking locations to charge day pass parking that is not covered in your shuttle fee.
