Port Huron, located in what locals affectionately call The Blue Water Area, rests on the U.S./Canadian border at the point where Lake Huron flows into the St. Clair River. Visitors to the area enjoy endless sandy shoreline, parks and numerous boardwalks. Michigan's Blue Water Area also features refreshing water parks.
Bluewater Fun Park is just a short drive across the Blue Water Bridge to Sarnia, Ontario. You can spiral down one of two, winding water slides, or float across the Leisure Lagoon pool. Small children have fun on speed slides and playing in the cascading water mushroom fountain. Children off all ages will enjoy the competition of bumper boats, complete with water cannons. Away from the water, picnic areas, miniature golf and an outdoor snack bar are available. Bluewater Fun Park offers a choice of paid admissions and features two birthday party packages for groups of six or more.
