After you've rented a pontoon, take it on a slow ride down the Muskegon River. The fancy country club at the river mouth used to be a lighthouse, before it burned down. Oooh and aaah at the wealthy homes on the riverside, but turn around once you get a little bit past the bridge, for a little ways beyond that is swamp.
The Muskegon River is a 216-mile-long (348 km) river in the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. From its source at Houghton Lake in Roscommon County, the river flows in a generally southwesterly direction to its mouth at Lake Michigan at the eponymous city of Muskegon. The river drains an area of 2,350 square miles (6,100 km2), and collects a number of tributaries, including the Little Muskegon River, Hersey River, and Clam River.

Fishing is allowed near the dam, so take a day trip here.
This rustic, log-cabin style movie theater shows only one movie at a time for about three weeks. It is usually the highest-grossing film at the box office or the one with the largest promotional team. Movies show at 7:30PM and 9PM nightly. Be sure to get there at least half an our before the show starts to grab a good parking spot, buy refreshments, and make sure all the little ones go "potty".
