"Established in 2019 At this cherished pocket of Indiana you'll cross an amazingly rich natural world where grasses grow from ancient sand and into the sky. Prepare to fall in love with one of the most biodiverse parks in the system. Dunes started forming some 6,000 years ago, after the last ice Age's glaciers had retreated, creating the Great Lakes."

"Lake Michigan’s 15 miles of southern shoreline at Indiana Dunes has nine different beaches to choose from. Two parks make up the Indiana Dunes: Indiana Dunes National Park, with eight beaches, and Indiana Dunes State Park, with one beach. West Beach, located in Indiana Dunes National Park, is great for families because it has a sizeable band of sand, a bathhouse, plenty of parking, and an on-duty lifeguard during the summer months. Hike on the Dunes Succession Trail, where you’ll have inland fun, and spot the interdunal ponds while walking on the mile-long boardwalk. Keep your head on a swivel as you notice birds flying overhead and critters burrowing below in the grasses and lowlands. In the Indiana Dunes National Park, pets are allowed but must be on a leash (no longer than six feet) all the time, even while swimming in the lake. If you allow your pet to chase or harass any kind of bird or wildlife, you may receive a citation. Finally, the National Park Service reminds pet owners to never leave pets unattended in a vehicle. Our newest national park has entered the scene with a big splash. Indiana Dunes might have recently received national park designation, but as a longtime National Lakeshore, the park has been hard at work protecting and preserving 15 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, as well as oak savannas, swamps, marshes, prairies, and forest for over 50 years. In fact, they’ve been fighting for national park status for the last century. The park is only open from 6am to 11pm, so if you have a limited amount of time, you’ll want to plan out which of the 14 trails you want to tackle, especially if you’re hoping to reach the top of Mt. Jackson, Mt. Tom, or Mt. Holden, all of which reach over 150 feet above Lake Michigan. You also don’t want to forget to schedule some time for sunbathing and swimming at one of the park’s beautiful beaches. There are no lodges, restaurants or general facilities in the park, but Chicago is just an hour away. So, after you fill your day with fun, you can head into the city to grab a bite to eat and rest.

"Added to the Nation Park system fairly recently, this was a last minute rendezvous to Indiana while visiting family in Kankakee, Illinois. I had not been to the Great Lakes in many years, so remembering what it looked like and having more of an appreciation for everything was a sight to behold."

"Spanning a lake, a woods, a marsh, a prairie, and so many other diverse geographic areas, Indiana Dunes is an adventurous way to explore the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Fun fact: The Dunes were created as a result of glaciers that receded north 10,000 years ago.  make sure to go to these houses 1933 Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress Homes"
