The Chamber sponsored Salmon Spectacular is a very popular event in the fall. In the our past, Jesse Owens got his start as a child in our community. Today, Muhammed Ali calls Berrien Springs home. The local McDonald s has a display of his career with some real memorabilia. Love Creek Nature Center is another pearl for our greater community.
Love Creek is excellent for walks in the woods.
Also, Fernwood is an excellent botanical experience for the whole family. Perhaps our area is best known for it fruit. Cherries, apples, plums, grapes, peaches, strawberries, red and black raspberries, blue berries, and a whole lot more are grown in our fields. Fruit stands and markets regularly attract thousands of regional visitors who either pick their own or get it fresh from the field. In 1907 a portion of a silent film was shot in Berrien Springs.
