Outdoor Water Playground
| The Park at Water's Edge is a one-acre, outdoor water playground that provides a splashing good time for kids of all ages looking to frolic in the northern Michigan summer sun. The highlight of this water park is the 4,200 square-foot pool, which offers a water playground structure sure to keep the giggles rolling for hours. The Park also features a 32-foot climbing wall, a sand play area and an outdoor hot tub. Daily rates, group rates and memberships available. Free to houseguests! |
| The Water Playground The fun flourishes around the extensive water playground structure, located in the shallower end. Packed with bubbling and spouting water features, kids think they've died and gone to water heaven as they splash amidst the spray nozzles, bubbling and arching jets and pull valves of this northern Michigan water park. The multi-platformed unit also features pipe falls, a tumble pail, cargo nets, and a water cannon. Oh yes, and we can't forget the kid-friendly water slide that curves its way through the structure and empties out into the pool. The pool and water playground are FREE to houseguests. |
 |
| Vertical Edge Climbing Wall Take the challenge and climb to the top! This 32' wall has beginner, intermediate and advanced routes available. No experience necessary. $5 for one climb, $7 for two climbs, same person, harness and helmet included. Group rates and memberships available. Stop by the Park at Water's Edge to buy your pass. |

| Pool Games Take part in loads of watery fun including limbo, water volleyball, basketball competitions and more! Check the pool deck for a daily schedule. Licensed Lifeguards Licensed lifeguards staff the Park at Water's Edge at all times. These guardians of the water have all been trained specifically in pool and waterpark aquatic safety, and hold national certification. Zero Depth At one end, the pool offers a "zero-depth" entry, meaning that at that end, the water literally starts off at a depth of zero - much like at the beach or lake - and then gradually increases in depth. This is perfect for youngsters not quite ready to tackle deeper waters or for persons who have difficulty with stairs. Off The Deep End At the other end of the pool are three, 75-foot competition-length lap lanes as well a water volleyball net and basketball hoops. Lap Swimming Take advantage of the regulation lap lanes at the Park at Water’s Edge outdoor pool. Lap lane swimming only is offered daily 9-10 am, June 11 - September 6. Free to houseguests. The Lily Pad Walk Separating the two ends of the pool is a 23' lily pad walk, where kids of all ages test their balancing skills as they make their way across the floating lily pads, supported by the roping overhead. One false move and it's KERPLOOSH! Sand in your shoes And what is summertime without the opportunity to build sand castles or just the mere pleasure of feeling the sand between your toes? The Park at Water's Edge has that covered, too, with the 700 sq.-foot sand play area, complete with a large playground structure, shaded lawn furniture for parents, and, yes, plenty of sand. The Hot Tub The area also includes a large 15-person hot tub that is open year 'round. There's lots of room for everyone in this tub. Hours vary depending on the season. Houseguests may use the hot tub after hours until 10pm using their room key card. The Bath House The Mountain Adventure Center includes a bath house, complete with shower facilities and lockers. |

| The Beach House Splashing about in the Park at Water's Edge can certainly work up an appetite, not to mention immense thirst. Have no fear! The Beach House, located within the Park at Water's Edge, features a wide array of poolside fare, including the oh-so-tempting frozen blender drinks, hot dogs and ice cream treats. Sorry, but you may not bring your own food or beverages into the Park at Water's Edge. |
