Things to Do at Lake Arvesta Farms
06464 Arvesta Drive, South Haven, MI 49090
1 – Conquer the Giant Aqua Obstacle Courses
Strap on a life jacket!
At Lake Arvesta Farms, there is a floating obstacle course for you, no matter your age.
Your Aqua Park Pass lets you play on the giant inflatable obstacles all day long.
Climb, swing, and scramble over the course just like players on American Ninja Warrior.
The junior Wibit (obstacle course) is for anyone under 42 inches tall.
If you’re taller than that, you will use the larger obstacle course area.
2 – Learn to Wakeboard at the Cable Park
If you’re looking to learn how to wakeboard, then this is the place to do it.
There are helpful instructors who will teach you on your own private cable in a safe and secure location.
Depending on your previous experience skateboarding, skiing, or on other balanced-related activities, most people will find that a day at the park is sufficient to be able to learn how to wakeboard.
To access the cable park, you need to purchase a day pass for the Cable Wakeboard Park.
Equipment rental is $10 per day.
3 – Hit the Crazy Waterslides
Lake Arvesta Farms is now home to several giant inflatable waterslides.
You’ll need to climb to the top to ride the slide of your choice, but it’s worth it for the ride – and the view!

Camping & Glamping Near Lake Arvesta Farms
There are lot’s of great campgrounds in South Haven and Southwest Michigan.
Mad props to the Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday campground for having WiFi that could keep up with all of tech we brought with us.
This campground has a huge jumping pillow and new glamping teepees. In season, you can u-pick blueberries right at the campground. They have a little dog park, too.
One night, we texted the campground office for pizza delivery. That’s also how the firewood works.
We stayed in an RV rental from Nick at NV Trailer Rentals LLC. I made the campground reservation- Nick delivered and set up the camper. He let us bring our pup, too! Nick was great to work with.
