Just outside Benton Harbor is the nearby St. Joseph river that separates it from St. Joseph, MI. The river is a great place to drop in a canoe and paddle away for hours or you can go steelhead fishing with a charter service. St. Joseph is the twin city to Benton Harbor and for much reason. Silver Beach in St. Joseph offers the kiddos plenty to do such as the carousel and the amusement park museum, splash pad, and climbing wall.

It’s all part of your Cabin Time.
