If you have half a day:

- Join one of the many ranger-led programs designed to help you find your own connection to this incredibly diverse national park. Search our Calendar of Events to see current opportunities.

- Lounge on 15 miles of national park beaches and enjoy beautiful views of the expansive Lake Michigan. While you're relaxing, the kids can earn a Junior Ranger Beachcombers patch by completing a fun activity sheet.

- Take a trip back through time and tour the historic Bailly Homestead and Chellberg Farm to learn about early Duneland history. Hike the entire Bailly / Chellberg Trail System for views of the Little Calumet River and Mnoké Prairie.

- Journey deep into the ancient dunes of the Tolleston Dunes Trail System.
