State DNR maintained boat launch onto Galien River approximately 1 1/2 miles north of New Buffalo. Approximately 3 miles downstream to Lake Michigan. Galien River Marsh [and water trail] is downstream. A pit toilet is available.

Heading downstream from the access the river flows and winds slowly toward New Buffalo and Lake Michigan. The trip to New Buffalo takes approximately one hour each way. It the weather cooperates Lake Michigan is a thrill to be on after the river portion of the trip.
