New Buffalo is a lovely community that sits on the shores of the Galien River and Lake Michigan, and is considered the gateway to southwest Michigan’s beaches. This lovely historic town was incorporated as a village in 1836, and today has one of the largest refuge harbors on the Great Lakes. The village streets are lined with unique specialty shops, art galleries, and restaurants, and the soft, sandy beach at Lakefront Park is an ideal spot to picnic as you watch the sailboats in the harbor. There is plenty to do in New Buffalo such as golf, swimming, hiking and biking, and the area has some of the best fishing for salmon, trout and perch to be found in the Mid West. The beautiful beach at New Buffalo is within walking distance of downtown, and has a nice play area for children, a refreshment stand, restrooms and a boardwalk atop the dunes. New Buffalo is also home to the annual St. Mary’s Festival, a three-day event with carnival rides, food and games. The town of New Buffalo is easy to reach along Interstate 94, and is located southwest of Kalamazoo between Benton Harbor and the Indiana State line.

New Buffalo Weather & Climate

Southwest Michigan enjoys four distinct seasons and there is a saying that goes, %u201Cif you don%u2019t like the weather, wait a day and it will change.%u201D This is because both the warm, humid air coming up from the Gulf of Mexico, and cold, dry air from the Arctic influence the climate. Located near the shores of Lake Michigan, the climate is also influenced by the lake effect, which helps keep temperatures mild during the summer and increases the moisture content in the air throughout the year. In the winter, this moisture condenses as snow as it reaches the land, creating heavy snowfalls in some areas, known as "snow squalls" on the downwind shores of the lakes. Showers and thunderstorms are common in the spring and summer, and fall is often the sunniest time of the year in Michigan.
