The South Haven  Harbor is sponsored by the Michigan State Waterways Commission and located just inside the entrance to the Black River.

Trappers and loggers first started settling here in the mid 1700's. The Black River was widened in the 1860's to allow the larger sailing ships to turn around. They were primarily transporting lumber, farm produce and furs out of South Haven at that time. The port eventually became a major vacation destination for people steaming in on ships from Chicago. It has now become a popular sport fishing and yachting port of call.

A great local attraction is the Michigan Maritime Museum. it is located about 3/4 of a mile up the Black River with dockage available for museum visitors. Call the South haven Municipal Marina for dockage reservations. This museum concentrates on the vessels and maritime men of the State of Michigan. It covers everything from the Native American Indians and their canoes to the modern vessels of today.
