From Our Friends At New Buffalo Explored
Mt. Randall Loop
The most spectacular and challenging hike in the region, Warren Dunes’ Mt. Randall Loop is a four-mile roundtrip trek through forest and dune to a gorgeous stretch of pristine Lake Michigan beach. Your reward is a stunning panoramic view of the lake and an almost ocean-like horizon.
River Saint Joe
River Saint Joe is a farmstead brewery and restaurant on scenic Flatwater Farm, a 180-acre certified organic farm dedicated to producing for RSJ’s brewery and kitchen. Akin to an estate winery — but beer! — River Saint Joe offers a rare, grain-to-glass, field-to-fork experience.
Antiques
Fans of one-of-a-kind home goods agree the hunt knows no season. Fortunately, the lakeshore remains a vibrant destination for designers, collectors, and DIY-ers throughout the year. Find our most treasure-full shops, hours, and a handy map in this curated vintage & antique shopping guide.
Breweries, Wineries & Distilleries
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.
Shopping & Spas
Ready for a bit of retail therapy? The area is loaded with charming boutiques, antique stores, and the bargain shopper's nirvana — the outlet mall. Relax after shopping with a massage at a local spa.
Art & Culture
Theater, opera, indie films and live music are all a part of the Harbor Country scene. From outdoor pavilions to renovated factories, the venues are as unique as the performances.
