The Pines Theater
This rustic, log-cabin style movie theater shows only one movie at a time for about three weeks. it is usually the highst-grossing film at the box office or the one with the largest promational team. movies show at 7:30pm and 9pm nightly. be sure to get there at least half an our before the show starts to grab a good parking spot, buy refreshments, and make sure all the little ones go "potty".
Reedsburg Dam
Fishing is allowed near the dam, so take a day trip here. very nice.

Zubler's Indian Powwows
Every thursday in july and august at one, two, three, and four pm there is an indian powwow next to zubler's indian craft shop. it is a free event, but the hat is passed around at one point in the show. refreshments and crafts sold on-site.
Boat Rentals
No visit is complete without renting a boat at the houghton lake marina. get a pontoon to have a lazy afternoon on the lake that you can fish off of, or a jet ski to zip around the lake on.
Cruise Down Muskegon River
After you've rented that pontoon, take it on a sloww ride down the muskegon river. the fancy country club at the river mouth used to be a lighthouse, before it burned down. oooh and aaah at the wealthy homes on the riverside, but turn around once you get a little bit past the bridge, for a little ways beyond that is swamp.
Drive Down County Road 300
Take the kids down here on a drive. be sure to go slow, because deer and turkeys like to jump in front of cars. very scenic and natural.
