Indiana Dunes State Park is our most visited park and has been loved for over a hundred years! But do you even know what a dune is or why they're important? Or the people we have to thank for the park's creation? What about the shipwreck offshore? And how many birds migrate along Lake Michigan every year? You're about to discover there's a lot more that makes the dunes even more special than you know!
