Join a ranger at Indiana Dunes National Park every Sunday in January from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, for an adventurous snowshoe hike in the beautiful Miller Woods. No reservation is required. A limited number of snowshoes are available to borrow, or you can bring your own. Snowshoeing is dependent on the amount of snow on the ground with a minimum of 3 inches of snow required.  If there is not enough snow for snowshoeing, there will be a hike instead. 

Please meet at the Paul H. Center for Environmental Education, 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.
