It is our pleasure to offer a variety of kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and rowboats for guests to adventure around Heart Lake. The boats are used on a first come, first serve basis. Please return the watercraft to its proper home for the next guest to enjoy. Oh, and don’t forget to bring a lifejacket along! Life jackets are available to keep you safe and in compliance with Michigan DNR regulations.
Grab your swimsuit and jump onto Heart Lake Resort’s newest water trampoline! This fun, bouncy activity is not just for kids, but the kids at heart too. Be prepared for a good laugh as you battle to be the last man standing. It’s harder than you would except! Please be courteous of the 500lb weight limit, and parents must always accompany small children. We recommend using a paddle board to shuttle tired kiddos from the trampoline to the shoreline to ensure a safe experience.
Who doesn’t love a toasty bonfire on a cool summer night? That’s pure Michigan! We offer multiple bonfire areas on the property and complimentary firewood is provided - just bring your favorite campfire snacks and enjoy.
Kids have energy so set the kiddos free on the swingset or let them challenge one another to a game of tetherball. This is the perfect area for kids to play away from the water while parents settle into their cottage, prepare dinner, or just need a moment to sit on the porch. The fresh air will be sure to wear them out!
A brand new amenity as of Fall 2025! A wood-burning sauna is located near the parking lot to the left of the pole barn. This is a communal amenity for all Heart Lake Resort guests to enjoy. Sauna instructions and safety reminders are located inside the changing room portion of the sauna. Wood is provided.
The sauna is use at your own risk. Heart Lake Resort is not liable for any injuries/misuse of the sauna.
All aboard the Heart Lake Resort Express! Our handcrafted train has pulled into the station as of Spring 2026! Designed as a playful, train-themed structure, it’s the perfect spot for kids to climb, explore, and let their imaginations run wild. Whether they’re pretending to be the conductor or heading off on a grand adventure, this charming addition brings smile, laughter and little extra magic to your stay.
