Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark
Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark, Indoor water park in Charlevoix County, United States
Avalanche Bay is an indoor water facility covering 88,000 square feet with four activity pools and seven water slides in a climate-controlled environment at Boyne Mountain Resort. The space includes multiple pools of varying sizes and depths designed for different age groups and swimming abilities.
This facility opened in the early 2000s as part of the Boyne Mountain Resort expansion to provide year-round entertainment in northern Michigan. The opening marked a shift for the resort, transforming it from a winter-only destination into a four-season recreation center.
Families gather here during winter to enjoy water activities while snow falls outside, creating a contrast between indoor tropical warmth and the frozen landscape beyond. This reflects how the region stretches winter recreation into months when outdoor water play would normally be impossible.
Access is straightforward from Boyne Mountain Resort, where visitors can find parking and other amenities as well. The pools are heated to comfortable temperatures, making swimming pleasant throughout the year regardless of outside weather.
Guests can watch snowfall through large windows while swimming in 84-degree water, creating an unusual sensory contrast during Michigan winters. This uncommon combination of tropical warmth and frozen scenery just beyond the glass makes the visit feel distinctly otherworldly.
