Welcome To St Joseph County

St. Joseph County and the surrounding region provide more attractions than the average visitor can see in a single day. So, have fun and stay awhile! The area offers a variety of fairs and festivals, a top-notch zoo, historical and interactive museums adults and children alike can enjoy. But if Mother Nature is more your style, we offer gardens, parks and even a world-class waterway, perfect for kayaking. The East Race Waterway is North America’s first artificial whitewater course, hosting national and international slalom races featuring Olympic champions. Many explore the numerous universities that are abundant in the region. The University of Notre Dame ranks as the top tourist attraction in the region.
