Summer Bucket List

Summer is short, and there is so much to do!ย 

I always like to make a summer bucket list so that I can make sure to squeeze it all in, before summer flies by. What's on your summer bucket list? Here's ours...

๐Ÿ›ถ Kayak the Galien River, rentals available through Third Coast Paddling

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Take a Hike and run down some dunes at Warren Dunes or Indiana Dunes

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿซ Enjoy Sโ€™mores under the stars around the bonfire here at Garden Grove Inn (s'mores ingredients and firewood are always available, and complimentary!)

๐Ÿซ Pick fruit at any of our amazing local farmsย 

๐Ÿท Drink wine in a vineyard - a few of our favorites include Round Barn Estate (especially the hiking trails between Round Barn & Tabor Hill!), Hickory Creek, Lemon Creek, Dablon, Domaine Berrien Cellars, and Filkin's (worth the drive!)

๐Ÿšฒ Bike the Red Arrow Linear Trail - Take one of our complimentary bikes for a ride on the newly created sidewalk, south to New Buffalo, and north to Sawyer with all the shops, restuarants, beach access points, and more along the way!

โ›ณ Improve your golf game with a few rounds at Whitaker Woods

๐Ÿ Take a Goat Hike at Verdant Hollow Farm

๐ŸŽถ Catch some live music at The Acorn Theater (or any of the local wineries, breweries, bars/restaurants, or township parks - which have live music all summer!)

๐ŸŒ… Finally, grab a seat on the beach for ALL the sunsets! Michigan sun sets take place post 9 pm ET from now until August 4!!!
