Harbor Country

Harbor Country The official page of the Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce. Harbor Country is an eclectic partnership of small towns.

Officially, the term Harbor Country is a nationally designated trademark for the towns of Michiana, Grand Beach, New Buffalo, Union Pier, Lakeside, Harbert, Sawyer, Bridgman and Three Oaks. Beginning

at the Michigan state line, these tightly knit, yet individual, communities encompass a stretch of about 15 miles north along Lake Michigan and 6 miles inland.
