Galien River County Park Traditional Cache

This undeveloped property included a mix of upland and wetland habitats along the Galien River. The wetland area is particularly significant in that it is a part of a larger Great Lakes marsh that formed along the Galien River just upstream from the river's mouth at Lake Michigan.

In 2001, the Berrien County Parks Commission acquired 86 acres in New Buffalo Township to establish the Galien River County Park.

With the generous assistance of the Pokagon Fund and the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, Phase 1 improvements have been completed and the park is now open to the public!

Highlights of these improvements include a 300' Canopy Walkway that leads to a 60' high Marsh Overlook Tower and a 600' long Marsh Boardwalk that leads to River Viewing and Fishing Platform. Both of these major features are accessible via hard surfaced, barrier free hiking trails.

The park is located on Red Arrow Highway in New Buffalo Township, just north of the intersection with US-12. The entrance is located directly across the road from the New Buffalo Township Hall. The park address is 17424 Red Arrow Highway, New Buffalo.

The park will be open daily during daylight hours and there is no entry fee.​
