My partner Keith took me to Chicago for my 50th bday in 2015. On the way back to Columbus we stopped at the Dunes and really enjoyed our afternoon there.
Sincerely,
Indiana Dunes National Park
An urban oasis just 35 miles outside of Chicago, this park includes more than 15,000 acres of sensitive dune lands, bird-filled marshes, oak and maple forests, and remnants of once-vast prairies.
State(s): Indiana
Established: 1966
