You owe it to yourself to see the incredible and beautiful dunes along Lake Michigan in northwestern Indiana. Check out the lake, the dunes, bogs, marshes and more at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore or Indiana Dunes State Park. If you’re feeling adventurous try sport fishing on big water with one of the many Lake Michigan Charter Captains.

With over thirty Indiana State Parks and Reservoirs, many with RV campgrounds, there is no shortage of outdoor recreation opportunities in our great state.
