2012 Map of Big Bend
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The Muskegon River meanders dramatically through this portion of Newaygo County, creating the namesake sweeping curve at Big Bend and widening into the Hardy Dam Pond. The landscape is defined by this hydraulic transition, where the river's natural course meets the backed-up waters of the dam, flooding low-lying areas and creating a series of intricate inlets and marshes. Public access and recreation are central to the area, evidenced by the Newaygo State Park Rustic Campground and the riverside Oxbow Park near the southern boundary.
