What are soon to become three of your family’s favorite things this summer? Why the indoor waterpark, award-winning golf club and interactive ranch at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Michigan, of course!
The Double JJ Ranch, Waterpark and Golf Resort offers so many activities for each and every member of the family, whether young or old, your family’s only concern this vacation will be trying to decide what to do first! Whether it’s golfing, fishing, horseback riding, visiting a pet farm, cattle drives, archery, or spending your time in the indoor waterpark, the Double JJ Resort has your family covered, offering something for everyone and for every activity level.
Let’s dive in deep to Double JJ Resort, known as “America’s Friendliest Resort” for more than 70 years, and take a look at all of the fun!
1. Indoor Waterpark
An impressive 60,000 square feet of pure wet and wild fun, the Gold Rush Indoor Waterpark is home to Western Michigan’s tallest indoor waterslide, known as Rustler’s Gulch! In addition to this sought-after attraction, the waterpark also includes various other attractions:
- thrill slides, such as Miner’s Plunge, Thunder Canyon and Stallion Falls
- a wave pool (Wild Waters), a water fort with water guns, handles and cranks (The Lost Mine)
- the lazy/crazy river with its gushing water, buckets and explosions
- a toddler pool (JJ’s Hide Out)
- water basketball, volleyball and a balance walk in the Golden Pool activity pond
- hot tubs for both family-friendly fun and one exclusively for adults to sit back and relax while the children are hard at play (Getaway Springs)
In case anyone in your family is not a fan of watersports, the waterpark also includes an impressive suspension bridge located high above the waterpark and the Wooden Nickel Arcade. These make great alternatives to the water adventures, but also provide additional entertainment for older kids!
2. Horseback Riding and Ranch
Thoroughbred Investments LLC provides the wonderful equestrian services that make Double JJ Resort such a standout establishment! What does this mean exactly? It means that children can take part in horseback riding all the way from the beginner’s level to the advanced level. The kids’ corral lessons offered at the ranch ensure that children are placed at a suitable skill level when riding. In addition to the standard riding lessons, children can also take part in lessons involving barrel and pole jumping, as well as roping!
Your family can participate in these walk, trot and canter trail rides, as well as other lessons and horseback riding activities, in a family/group setting, with semi-private lessons or even with one-on-one lessons!
