Join a ranger for a hike through Indiana Dunes National Park’s exceptional Miller Woods. Hikes are offered every Sunday in April from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, starting from Paul H. Douglas Center. The hike, on the recently renamed Paul H. Douglas Trail, is spectacular in its varied habitats including globally rare black oak savanna, interdunal ponds, wetlands, and towering sand dunes that offer incredible views of Lake Michigan and Chicago. Bring water and be prepared for a 1.5 to 3 mile hike through sand. Ticks are out so be sure to bring insect repellent.
The Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education is located in the western portion of the national park at 100 North Lake Street, about one mile north of U.S. Highway 12 in the Miller neighborhood of Gary. For more information on this or other programs at Indiana Dunes National Park, call 219-395-1882 or visit our website at www.nps.gov/indu and our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/
