Indiana Dunes National Park: Ultimate Day Trip Guide! 🏖️🌲

🌎 Quick Facts 61st U.S. National Park (2019), hugging Lake Michigan near Chicago. Famous for towering sand dunes (shaped by wind/water!), plus wetlands, forests, and beaches. 🚩 Must-Do Activities 1️⃣ The Three Dune Challenge (State Park) 🏆 1.5-mile hike up 3 dunes—sweeping lake views worth the burn! 2️⃣ Porter Beach (State Park) 🏖️ Softest sand + clearest water (perfect for swimming/sunbathing). 3️⃣ Dune Succession Trail (National Park) 🌱 Short but scenic—watch dunes evolve from beach to forest! 4️⃣ West Beach (National Park) Less crowded, great for sunset picnics. 5️⃣ Visitor Center 🎥 Free intro film + personalized trail recs from rangers. ⚠️ Key Tips State Park fee: $12/car (dunes are prettier here!). NP vs. State Park? Skip NP if no pass—State Park’s dunes > NP’s. Pack: Swimwear, binoculars (birdwatching!), water shoes (sand gets HOT). Pro move: On clear days, spot Chicago’s skyline from the beach! ⏱️ Time Crunch? Half-day enough—hit Three Dunes + Porter Beach. #IndianaDunes #NationalParks #RoadTripUSA #LakeMichigan 🚗💨
