A dip in the pool. A swim in an inland lake. A trip to the beach. A run through the sprinkler. Rinse. Repeat. July in Michigan is all about being near the water – whatever piece of it is close to you. But sometimes vacations are built to be poolside.

That’s the case for our two deals this week. The first is Avalanche Bay, the state’s largest indoor waterpark which is part of Boyne Mountain resort. And the second is the newly-refurbished Esther Williams Swimming Pool at Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel.

Both of these spots have deals for July travelers. So check out the special pricing – and don’t forget to pack your suit and towel.
