Things To Do
Indiana Dunes National Park Central Beach
For those traveling from Chicago, road tripping from MN, or have some extra time, the Indiana Dunes is one of our favorite hiking spots locally. In particular trail 9 and the Cowles Bog trail - both open up to private beaches! The West Beach 3-Loop Trail offers a great pubic beach and it's where Amy and her family spent their summers growing up!
Syracuse-Wawasee Trail
Syracuse-Wawasee Trail Loop is a 5.2 mile loop trail great for walking, running, or biking. Easily walkable from The Oakwood Resort. Reward yourself for your effort by stopping at The Channel Marker for an adult beverage on the water which is located right along the path! See Alltrails app or website for more trail information.
