The fun continues at Avalanche Bay- Michigan largest indoor water park.

Michigan is divided into two peninsulas; the upper and the lower, be sure that you schedule time to take a guided ride or get a group together to bike to the Mackinaw Bridge . There is a fee for crossing the bridge, which you will have to pay each way. The Mackinaw Bridge is a two-lane highway that consists of the left lane being grates while the right lane is concrete. A word of caution; usually in the summertime, the road commission is working on the bridge and the right lane is often times closed. No matter if one crosses the bridge or not, just the view is enough to earn the Mac patch which will be available for $3.00 each. Camping is available at Young State Park 1.800 44 PARKS or 231.582.7523 or at East Jordan Tourist Park . For reservation at Boyne Mt. call 1.800.GO.BOYNE 462.6963.
