Day Trips in Chicago

"The Indiana Dunes have been long-protected, and in early 2019 they became the country’s newest national park. The park is an hour’s drive from Chicago and located at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. It’s a great place to camp or just vist for a day. There are some great beaches with lifeguards and 50 miles of hiking trails that cross over dunes, forests, streams, and wetlands. It’s a really beautiful area, and best of all, it’s accessible from downtown Chicago by train on the South Shore Line.On the way to the park, you can stop in Miller Beach and grab an early lunch at the Miller Bakery Cafe. You’ll also find plenty of lunch options just south of the park in Chesterville. Alternatively, you can stop at a grocery store for picnic items to enjoy in the park." - MATADOR_NETWORK
