Your Fee Dollars At Work

Indiana Dunes National Park is a breathtaking haven of natural beauty and rich history. Your support helps the preservation and maintenance of this extraordinary national treasure.

Indiana Dunes National Park is a fee collection park, and the fees collected play a crucial role in the ongoing efforts to protect and preserve this natural wonder. The revenue generated from these fees directly contributes to the preservation of the park’s ecological and historical resources, ensuring that future generations can continue to experience its beauty.

We would like to take this opportunity to share with you some of the remarkable projects that have been completed with your generous support. These vital initiatives have enhanced the infrastructure and amenities within the park, enabling visitors to enjoy a richer and more sustainable experience.

Some of the projects completed so far include the emergency shoring up of the park’s Bailly Homestead (interior and exterior), rehabilitation (exterior/interior painting/flooring) of the Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education, parking lot paving and the upgrade of all solar lighting, stair replacement/repair at West Beach, Dunewood Campground and Long Lake.

Current projects being funded include the upgrade of the Glenwood Dunes restroom facility, Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk rehabilitation, and the replacement/upgrade of the alarm systems at all visitor facilities.

We want to express our gratitude for your visit and for your continued support of America’s National Parks. As you can see, your contributions through entrance fees directly contribute to the preservation and enhancement of our natural and cultural heritage. We hope that your time at Indiana Dunes National Park is both inspiring and unforgettable, and that you leave with a deeper appreciation for the remarkable natural wonders and historical treasures that this park has to offer.
