Looking for fun things to do outdoors? Bring your family and friends to rent kayaks or stand-up paddleboards on the Galien River, a unique Great Lakes marsh that formed just upstream from Lake Michigan in Harbor Country. Please note that this is a different site than previous years (you may have visited us across the street at New Buffalo Beach). Our new site has plenty of parking, and is within walking distance of downtown New Buffalo. Our trained staff will give your group an orientation before you hit the water. All equipment, including paddles and life jackets, is provided at the rental sites. Advance reservations through our website are strongly encouraged. Drop-ins are also welcome; however, please note that selection may be limited depending on demand. Hours subject to change depending on weather conditions; check our website for updates.
