Join a ranger for a hike through the Indiana Dunes National Park’s exceptional Miller Woods on Sundays, March 1, 22, and 29, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, starting from Paul H. Douglas Center. The hike follows the Paul H. Douglas Trail and is spectacular in its varied habitats including globally rare black oak savanna, interdunal pannes, wetlands, and towering sand dunes that offer incredible views of Lake Michigan and Chicago. The hike could be as long as three miles with a stop at the lakefront. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water and 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.
