New Buffalo

Located at the mouth of the Galien River, the town of New Buffalo has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southwest Michigan for decades. A classic Great Lake harbor town, this quaint town has many areas to explore, from its beautiful public beach, its eight lake and riverside parks, to its specialty stores, antiquing, and fine selection of restaurants. While there is something to do year round, New Buffalo is buzzing each summer with non-stop fun and activities. There are numerous festivals, art fairs, and places to enjoy the scenery or just sit and “people-watch”. New Buffalo is one of the biggest boating harbors in Southwest Michigan, complete with an around-the-clock public boat launch.

The Four Winds Casino Resort located at 11111 Wilson Rd., New Buffalo, MI 49117, is a magnificent Casino worth exploring even if you are not a big gambler. In addition to the top notch gambling, it houses a beautiful hotel, several restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The brand new Silver Creek Event Center is located right in the Four Winds Casino Resort. Here you will enjoy top name entertainers in this beautiful concert venue. When the show is over, you are moments from the action on the Casino floor.
