Thanks to its position on the shore of Lake Michigan, there are plenty of exciting water activities to try. The waves provide the opportunity to surf, windsurf, or kitesurf, with a choice of different schools offering lessons for beginners, as well as rental equipment for those who are more experienced. You'll also find a variety of boat tours available if you'd prefer to explore the lake in a more leisurely fashion, or you can charter a private fishing trip with your family and catch salmon and trout.
Many of the most popular activities depend on Lake Michigan and warmer weather, so to take full advantage of the town’s prime lakeside location, New Buffalo vacation rentals are best booked in spring, summer, or fall rather than during the winter when temperatures are at their lowest. Summer is the most popular time to visit, with temperatures between June and August averaging around 80°F. The end of spring—April-May—and the start of fall—September-October—enjoy pleasant temperatures that hit as high as 60-75 degrees.
New Buffalo is positioned directly on the shore of the breath-taking Lake Michigan.

The elevated walkways provide an opportunity for a relaxing stroll through nature, and the observation platforms offer the chance to spot a variety of wildlife, including many migratory birds.
