Well, it used to be kind of dirty and mostly fun. Now it's just dirty and disappointing. We visited again this past weekend. The kids' pool area was very cold because the water heater was broken. The front desk was aware of this problem, but when we paid for our tickets at 4pm (to do the evening only) and they saw we had TWO children, I think it would have been the ethical and moral thing to tell us that a huge part of our visit would not be possible. Unfortunately, no one told us, and we paid.
I immediately asked a lifeguard if the heater was broken in the kids' pool area. She said she didn't know and would ask her manager. After a while, I asked her what was happening with the pool. She said she still hadn't talked to her manager. The lifeguards are always rotating, so the next lifeguard came around and I asked him. He said he couldn't speak much English...so, I went to the front desk. They instantly told me they knew the heater was broken. (Ummm...that would have been good information 30 minutes ago). I asked them if they were going to fix it, and I was told it would be fixed.
The kids played and had fun, as kids do. We noticed that many of the water features were no longer in working condition. Spray guns don't spray or twist as they should, etc. The locke facility in general was dirty. The facility was also very cold in certain areas. It wasn't a warm 84 degrees throughout as advertised. By the time we left at 7, the kids' pool was still broken and cold. We kept hoping the pool heater was going to be fixed. No one offered an apology, let alone a refund.
In all, we were discouraged with this visit. When you are skiing at Boyne, Avalanche Bay is convenient and they know they have a captive audience. I think we'll be heading to Schuss Mountain next year for a change of scenery.

I've been to many of the ski resorts in Michigan. I would rank Boyne Mountain as one of the top two. We've been to Boyne Mountain several times over the years, most recently in February 2018. There is something for everyone from beginner to expert. There is also snow tubing, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, a water park, restaurants and spa on site. I would recommend Boyne Mountain to anyone in the Midwest looking to get that quick fix of skiing between trips out west.
4. Young State Park

We spent 1 night here on Site 228. Close to restroom and showers. Short walk to beautiful beach with spectacular sunset! Water is very warm and the beach Sandy.
Great beach for young kids! We took turns batting soft balls into the water from the beach with 4 retrieving them. Great exercise!
The sunset was super even though it was slightly cloudy on the horizon. Nice quiet fire with Smores around a kid safe fire pit. I would stay here over park on Lake Michigan if it is a little windy or cooler.
Beautiful state park! Don't think it is any.less beautiful than Petoskey state park.

The 2.2 mile hike up this mountain is a beautiful way to spend a couple of hours. We hiked up with our camera and took some amazing shots along the way; everyone says the view is from the top and that is true, but the hike up is beautiful too.

My family and I found the market by luck on a Saturday morning stroll through the town. They have these every Tuesday and Saturday so we lucked out. The people at the booths were SO FRIENDLY! We enjoyed talking with them and tasting their wonderful products. We bought a few things too! There was a food truck there and also some vendors selling home-made goods (not just food).

A good guide can make your trip - even when the fish aren't biting. A bad guide can ruin your day. Koz was excellent. What patience! We were novices. We caught lots of trees and logs. He saved the flies and lures - over and over again. We needed a lot of instruction. He was very good at explaining how we could improve. We stopped by his friend, Joe Twoshack's, house on the river. Joe came out and serenaded us. What a relaxing day!
