If you haven't visited the eastern side of Lake Michigan, be sure to make a pitstop! While it may be chilly, it's worth catching a sunset if you are in town a day early!
They close for the season at the end of October, but if you come into town a few days early this is a must do! Just remember to grab cash before heading there. We recommend their famous burger and cheese fries!
Stop in for tasty pizza and a cold beer!
If you're up for a chilly hike and looking to check off another National Park, stop at Indiana Dunes! You'll be in for some sandy climbs, but great views of the lake, can walk along the beach and just might get a great view of downtown Chicago in the distance.
Another great place to go for a hike and see Michigan's famous dunes and lakeshore! Per their website this is the "unofficial gateway to Michigan’s state park system from the west" so clearly it's a must see!
