History

Blue Harbor Resort is located on Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Sheboygan River on the C. Reiss Coal Peninsula. The peninsula had formerly been used for coal storage. The property was razed and was developed into the South Pier District. The resort was built by Madison-based Great Wolf Resorts and the 182-room resort opened in 2004.

In 2011 Great Wolf Resorts announced the sale of the resort to Claremont New Frontier Resort LLC, a joint venture, for $4.2 million.{{cite news|last=Daykin|first=Tom|title=Blue Harbor Resort sold for $4.2 million|url=http://www.jsonline.com/business/118576559.html|accessdate=18 May 2011|newspaper=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|date=24 March 2011}}
