As vividly described in the Pure Michigan and South Haven County Convention & Visitors Bureau Visitor's Guide for South Haven, "Van Buren County's 13 miles of Lake Michigan beaches showcase Mother Nature's finest work. Her clear inland waters stretch along wide expanses of golden sands shielded by towering dunes to create a setting unlike anywhere else on Earth. The romance of Lake Michigan and the power of her beaches to nurture the soul is the basis for the region's enduring appeal as a vacation destination for Michiganders and those beyond the mitten's border." Van Buren County also features Kal-Haven Trail which is 33.5 miles long. This nature trail links South Haven to Kalamazoo. It is favored by bikers spring to fall.
