DirectionsOfficial site
Indiana Dunes National Park

Its separate units offer different ways to explore a heavily developed yet ecologically rich coastline.

The photograph shows the West Beach area, one component of a park spread across several communities. Choose a named unit and trailhead using current National Park Service maps; the mapped park location is not an entrance to every site. Check fees, beach conditions and closures, and distinguish the national park from the separately managed Indiana Dunes State Park.
