Experience a place where winter becomes wonder.
New Buffalo Explored

Together with Nature
Where lake, dunes, and woodland meet, every season reveals something new. Winter brings quiet shoreline walks, spring brightens the trails, summer fills the harbor with life, and fall paints the dunes in gold. Nature is always just outside your door.
A Pour to Remember
Drink like a local and discover all the distinctive flavors of Harbor Country. Sip a cocktail made with artisan spirits at our local distillery, toast the good times with a pint of Michigan craft beer or follow the wine trail to relaxation and beyond.
