SO. MUCH. FUN.
Splash pads are a refreshing choice on hot summer days and always a kid favorite! Clay Township, Marysville, Port Huron, Goodells and Port Austin all have wonderful splash pads, great for little tikes to explore safely. If sand in your toes is what you are looking for, our region has over 80 parks and beaches to explore!
Make plans to stay overnight at a hotel in the area. There are too many things to see, make time to stay longer. Adventure awaits, sleep well.
