The most recent glacier retreated (melted) about 14,000 years ago, leaving the land formation much as it is today. In Muskegon, or Michigan for that matter, no Glaciers can be found. However, you can find glaciers in the Continental US. Here is a map to show you were you can go visit some. http://map.ngdc.noaa.gov/website/nsidc/glacier/viewer.htm
