Foliage to Frost Hiking Series at Indiana Dunes National Park

Indiana Dunes National Park

Special Event
  • Nov 7, 2026 at 8:00 AM
  • Free

Join Park docents on this new hiking series. As the seasons shift, trade bug spray for warm layers and tackle the most breathtaking trails from the golden canopy of autumn oak savannas to the crisp quiet magic of a frozen lake Michigan shoreline. The off-season is when the dunes truly show off Indiana Dunes. Hikes will take place from October-March.

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.
