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.

We rode 20 miles, 10 out 10 back. Lots of shade. Not to difficult, no big inclines. Well maintained, no trash. A really nice way to start the day.

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.

Excellent large beach with lots of level sand, clear water, and shallow water for swimming. You can launch a paddle board or kayak right from the beach. Close parking next to the beach.

Vanburen Trail is paved from Maple St in South Haven to the VanBuren State Park which has swimming camping etc. That length of the trail is paved for anything non motorized. The trail also splits, in a non paved section and goes to Hartford Michigan

Fully paved trail. You do have to cross blue star hwy twice... so if you are with young families - be sure to have an adult in the front of your group.

Stunning views and still lots of sand! So many beaches along Lake Michigan are eroded with the high water over the last few years. This beach still has lots of sand and room for walking quite a distance on the beach. Enjoyed the crashing waves and a walk out to the lighthouse on a beautiful fall day! Playground on the beach is also a great addition!!

This past season we introduced my five-year old twins to Timber Ridge. Over the past few years they have been skiing at the other resorts in the area, mainly for the ease of the Magic Carpets for Little Learners. My son joined the JDT Race Team and we purchased season passes after our first visit. I grew up at this place and some of my best memories were the afternoon's I spent making new friends on the hill I call my home resort. SW MI is blessed with several local ski resorts, but one thing hasn't changed, Timber Ridge is the place where skier's go to get better, not learn. I visited all three local resorts this season and TR has the best terrain and parks. They have the best Race Development Staff and I can see why the better High School Race Teams have switched back to TR. We are looking forward to another year without COVID Restrictions. Thank you to the Staff
