South Haven Trip next week. Things to see and do

Leaving next Friday, 7/20 for 9 day trip to South Haven. Staying at Yogi Bear Resort in South Haven. In the past we stayed in Ludington, and would go north, but this time around with all the kids, wanted to stay closer, so chose the South side. Any things/activities that are must see or must do? Or even restaurants that are a must? We will have children with us ranging from 4 months, to 7 years old.
Lastly, is there any INLAND lakes near South Haven that are a must see? I have heard these are all over in Michigan, and are beyond gorgeous.
Thanks in advance!

    Our great lakes surround the state. Gorgeous ones are small and in-state. Gun lake is the one you are looking for. Be careful, very shallow, but great fishing and swimming

    If you were in Holland for the day (lots to do and not just the Dutch Garden), you could end the day by going north to Grand Haven to see the musical fountain that runs after dark. Then load the kids up and they will be asleep for the 1 hour+ back to camp.

    How about any really good "different" restaurants to eat at while up South Haven or surrounding cities?
