BGGWKA INDIANA - Sand along the shore of Lake Michigan in Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
Indiana’s first national park!
Soooooo many steps!!
Lake Michigan. Path off Trail 9 at one place leads right to the lake. Peaceful to just stand and watch and listen to the waves as they crash to the shore. Trail 9 is the trail to hike if one wants to see the most in the shortest time. Great views throughout the trail. The trail is over 3 miles long and is considered a moderate trail. But certainly worth it. One gets to hike through forest, dunes, and other natural environments and see such a variety of sights.

If you drive past the Dunes into Beverly Shores you can find more quieter areas to the Lake front. There are some small parking lots in that area (free) but they fill up fast so you have to go early in the morning if it is the Summer time. In the Fall, it is easy to access.
