Join the Des Plaines Park District for a day trip to Indiana Dunes State Park, and National Lakeshore
The dune lands of southern Lake Michigan are renowned for stretches of crowded beaches, bird filled marshes, oak and maple forests, and towering dunes. Our morning will begin at the Dorothy Buell Memorial Visitor Center for a duneland orientation. Then on to the Indiana Dunes State Park for a hike to enjoy the dunes. Our lunch stop will be in Chesterton. After lunch we’ll explore the 1820s fur-trading post and the 1900s era Swedish farmstead of Bailly- Chellberg Homestead, part of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
