Top 10 Outdoor Activities in New Buffalo, Michigan (MI)

August 29, 2021 Kelli Reichel

New Buffalo is a Lake Michigan beach getaway convenient to Indiana and Chicago. The large, broad public beach is the main attraction, but you can also explore downtown New Buffalo's shopping and dining options. Or, if you feel like taking a chance, the Four Winds Casino Resort has 130,000 square feet of gaming space. Owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, its design evokes their heritage.

Our new site has plenty of parking, and is within walking distance of downtown New Buffalo. Our trained staff will give your group an orientation before you hit the water. All equipment, including paddles and life jackets, is provided at the rental sites. Advance reservations through our website are strongly encouraged. Drop-ins are also welcome; however, please note that selection may be limited depending on demand. Hours subject to change depending on weather conditions; check our website for updates.
