The Essential Guide to Indiana Dunes National Park

"This 4.7-mile-long loop was named after Dr. Henry Chandler Cowles, whose early 1900s research here helped establish ecology as a scientific field. The path passes wetlands and savannas before reaching the lake. The final sandy section is strenuous, but the shoreline is worth the effort." - Iona Brannon Iona Brannon Iona Brannon is a journalist with a love for food and travel. Her work has appeared in Afar, Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and Business Insider, among other publications. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
