A Review of Lake Arvesta Farms in South Haven, Michigan

At Lake Arvesta Farms, there are activities to keep the entire family happy all day long including: floating obstacle courses, cable wakeboarding, giant water slides, kayaking, paddle boarding, pickleball, disc golf and our newly opened 18-hole miniature golf course.  They also have a snack bar and sit-down restaurant. We took four tweens for a day at the park.  Read on to find out our reviews from both tweens and adults! 

The floating obstacle course was the girls' favorite part of the park.  It is 500 feet of fun to climb and jump on!  The main park is for all ages, but there is a separate roped off area for children under 42 inches.  There are lifeguards on duty making sure everyone is safe.

Walk up a large hill to get to the 240-foot and 120-foot waterslides.
