NORTHERN INDIANA DAY-TO-DAY ITINERARY
DAY 1:
Spend your day at America’s newest national park: Indiana Dunes National Park. Hugging Lake Michigan’s shoreline for 15 pristine miles, these sand dunes were formed 10,000 years ago by receding glaciers and are considered some of the best examples of moraine topography on the planet. Orient yourself at the visitor center to watch a film about Indiana’s geographic history before walking along the winding wooden boardwalks of West Beach. Ascend the dune Succession Trail stairs for views of the Chicago skyline on a clear day and rows of jack pines. Other sites to explore include Miller Woods (a rare black oak savanna environment), the Great Marsh and Mount Baldy (the park’s tallest dune at 140 feet). Groups interested in history tour the Bailly Homestead, a popular rendezvous for Canadian fur traders, and Chellberg Farm, a historic farmstead that grants a peek into Swedish immigrant life in the 19th century. You can view many of these sites from the water aboard a Lake Michigan Boat Tour, which sets sail from nearby Michigan City and provides narration from park rangers.![Menno Hof](https://leisuregrouptravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Menno-Hof_1264x800-869x550.jpg)
