One second, the water is still. The next, a blue heron rises in flight across Maple Lake.

Moments like this are part of what makes time in Paw Paw special. Whether you're kayaking, fishing off of Maple Island, enjoying the shoreline, or simply taking in the view from downtown, you never know what you'll encounter when nature takes center stage. We truly have it all.

There's only one place in Paw Paw where you can order an Irish Doobie, a Southern Doobie, or a Crab Ran-Doob... and locals know exactly where that is. 😋

120 Taphouse & Bistro has built a following around these one-of-a-kind creations, all made in a scratch kitchen with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

👇 Settle the debate: What's the best Doobie you've ever had at 120?

Have you spotted Breanna Wood of Queen B. Artistry working her magic around downtown Paw Paw yet?

Breanna is kicking off an exciting new public art project made possible through a partnership between the Paw Paw DDA (Downtown Paw Paw), Destination Paw Paw, and our downtown business and building owners. Over the coming months, she’ll be creating a series of small, unique murals throughout downtown, each one adding a little more creativity and charm to the village.

And this is just the beginning! Once enough murals are completed, we'll launch an ongoing online scavenger hunt that will encourage residents and visitors alike to explore downtown and discover each piece of artwork along the way.

We love what can happen when community partners come together to create something special. Stay tuned—we can't wait to watch this project come to life! 🎨✨
Breanna is known for her mural and public art work across Michigan, bringing vibrant, community-focused artwork to public spaces.
