Blue Harbor Resort
The Blue Harbor Resort and Conference Center is reminiscent of a Grand Victorian beach resort. It was originally owned and operated by The Great Lakes Companies, Inc., and is designed to capture the nautical atmosphere and adventure of the Great Lakes.
The main attraction is Breaker Bay™, the four-story, 43,000-square-foot indoor waterpark. This waterpark continues the resort’s nautical ambiance as guests submerge themselves in the underwater-themed Lake Michigan adventure, with shoreline murals, oversized cattails, and rock outcroppings surrounding the massive water playground. Breaker Bay™ Waterpark features seven waterslides and four pools. It also features the four-story, 12-level interactive play center Lighthouse Pier, with a 48-foot-tall sinking ship dumping 1,000 gallons of water over the entire lighthouse every few minutes and boasting more than 60 guest-activated water effects.
