From the Sarett Nature Center hiking trails to the Jean Klock Lakefront park and playground for family fun. With Harbor Shores golf course close by, a quick nine holes of golf could also be part of your Benton Harbor adventure. Don’t forget to explore the Water Street Glassworks for a learning workshop and gallery.
