Welcome to the Upper Peninsula Luge Club!

Outdoor Recreation + Excitement for all ages


We are eager - but registration is not yet open for the 2023-2024 public sliding season.
All reservations are online.  Click here. 

Race officials training is Nov 3-5, 2023.  Being a trained official makes it easy to help out with a race (~2 hours) during the season!  The youth and adults appreciate folks who volunteer in these roles.  For more information, please email uplugeclub@upluge.org 

Our typical public sliding hours are
Friday 6-9pm and Saturday 11-2pm, from the end of December to 2nd weekend of March.
(Additional dates are often added during the year-end holidays, but we won't post those tickets until mid-December when we are more confident of the icing schedule)


The nonprofit Upper Peninsula Luge Club has forty years making good memories in Marquette County. Our mission is to promote Natural Track Luge as a fun, safe, family-friendly sport in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
