It's a Float down the lazy river to the Beach on Lake Michigan. Part Township Park, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Beach, River, PIcnic... Bring your own tubes, canoes, kayaks or floaties or rent when you get there. Bring a Picnic and Cooler to have when you get to the end. Just make sure you come to a complete stop at every stop sign in the parking lot, I got a ticket for running a stop sign there.
