Rock 'n' Road Cycle

Very friendly repair on a flat tire. Rental prices are reasonable. The bikes look in good shape, not the clunky rentals at most places, although we did not try them out.

South Haven Lighthouses

Reviewed By gemcitydayton - Dayton, United States

A beautiful site during the day or night, when the pathway is lit with white lights. Charming to view either on the shore or out in the lake. A nice walk out to the light house with the lake lapping around the sides of the walk., and easy to reach from the public beach nearby. Love this lighthouse so much that I have a painting of it in my house!

Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery

Reviewed By 270mindied

Our family has been here many times for fish related activities, but recently we discovered the amazing birding opportunities the grounds have! My 13 year old son wants to be an ornithologist, so when I saw they were having a birding event we decided to make another trip. While the weather wasn't great (very cold and windy) we had a great time with the staff at the hatchery and members of the Kalamazoo Audubon! The ponds on the property are wonderful for watching migrating waterfowl. We also had the chance to see some shore birds, cranes, an bald eagle, a heron, and many other interesting birds.

What a cute and fun place! We enjoyed tasting various fruit wines and ciders. We also bought pickled veggies. I LOVE the pear cider and have been back for refills on my growler!!

Cody Kresta Vineyard & Winery

Small family winery specializing in hand-crafted wines produced at our vintage 1882 homestead in southern Michigan. We are dedicated to sharing quality wines with our friends, family, and community while helping to preserve our rural countryside. We purposefully keep the volume of our winery small so we can ensure the quality of all our wines. Come by and see us - the trust is in the tasting!

Reviewed By poukala - Macomb, United States

We were shocked that we had not visited this winery in the past. We were sure we must have as we have been traveling the wine regions for 20 years. This was a pleasant surprise on what a wonderful visit we had. The winery took our payment inside for a tasting, then gave us a seat outside at a table to chose our wines, which were then delivered to us. The patio area was beautiful and a great place to just hang out and drink wine! We will be back!

Kids' Corner playground

Reviewed By mgm291 - New Boston, United States

Visited on Memorial weekend and even though the beaches and local shops were all packed, there was plenty of room for the kiddos to roam. The kids loved it. We have an 11, 9 and 8 year old and all three had a blast. There is plenty of room for adults too to sit on the outskirts at a picnic table or bring a blanket and find some grass under a tree. There was a birthday party and a couple of family gatherings occurring while we were there but there was still plenty of room and the kids loved the playground. If you have kids, Kids' Corner should be on your list of things to do while visiting South Haven.
