[2025 Westchester Township Attraction] Travel Guide for Indiana Dunes State Park (Updated May)

#passionpassport This little hike gets your heart pumping a bit with the elevation. Awesome views, and option for a nice walk along the beach or a swim in the middle. This is also part of three dunes challenge. There are many wooden stairs which looks nice and fascinating. It’s a easy hike but still provides much heart pumping moments. It’s a loop hike and ends at camping area and can walk back to nature center. Trsils are East to do bare foot rather than wearing shoes. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration #travelusa #campingglamping #hiking #hikingtrails #hikingadventures #traveladdict

#passionpassport To complete The 3 Dune Challenge, a person must run or hike a special 1.5 mile course at Indiana Dunes State Park, climbing Mount Jackson (elevation 176 feet), Mount Holden (184 feet), and Mount Tom (192 feet). Some parts of the trail feature 40-degree slopes, making each step that much more, well, challenging. In the sandy vertical climbs, it’s common to take two steps forward and slide one step back. This was fun and in some parts tough hike. You can see park overlook point and beaches while hiking up. Fun and good hike. Must do if you are visiting Indiana Dunes. #beautifuldestinations #passionpassport

#passionpassport At the Indiana Dunes State Park, large sand dunes, located beyond the entire shoreline, have taken thousands of years to form, and tower nearly 200 feet above Lake Michigan. Three miles of beach run along Lake Michigan’s southern shore. The park also offers 16.5 miles of trails, several that traverse Mount Tom. Enjoy everything the park has to offer with a stay at their campground. Indiana State Park entry fee is separate than Indiana Dunes National Park and costs 7 fillers for Indiana Resident and 10 dollars for outside Indiana. #passionpassport #bestislandtraveltowns #beautifuldestinations

🤩 Indiana Dunes State Park is arguably the most romantic attraction in the entire state of Indiana! 🌿 The park is a 2.5-hour drive from Indianapolis, but it is closer to Chicago, just over an hour away. 🌊 The park is mainly for 1️⃣ enjoying the blue lake view of Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes, 2️⃣ playing various recreational activities on the spectacular sand dunes, such as sandboarding, 3️⃣ hiking along the lake shore and forest, and 4️⃣ bird watching (depending on the season). Highly recommended!
