Loop
The hike is short with a very steep climb up loose sand to reach the top of the dune. The views are incredible as you hike on top of the barren (or bald) sand dune. Follow the ranger in order to protect the fragile dune.
Indiana Dunes National Park (formerly national lakeshore) was established to preserve important portions of the Indiana Dunes and other areas of scenic, scientific, historic and recreational value. Up to two million annual visitors enjoy the park's 15,000 acres of wetlands, prairies, sand dunes, oak savannas, forests, and historic sites. The park's 15 miles of beaches hug the southern shore of Lake Michigan from Gary, IN, to Michigan City, IN. For more information, visit the park website or Facebook page.
