Nature at its best
Along the South Shore of Lake Michigan is Lake County, Indiana, part of the Chicago Metropolitan area, and a mix of urban, suburban and rural areas. Lake Michigan is featured in some of the most popular attractions, but there is a whole lot more!
Nestled between Chicago and the shores of Lake Michigan, Whiting offers family friendly WhoaZone, the floating waterpark near Whihala Beach. The nationally famous Pierogi Fest occurs here every July, as the Babushkas and the Lawn Mower Brigade honor the stuffed dumpling that is part of their Eastern European heritage. Farther down the lakeshore is the gateway to the Indiana Dunes National Park and the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana. South of the lake shores you will find a candy factory, inspirational sculptures depicting the Stations of the Cross, and an agri-tourism “Disneyland.”
With all these attractions, plus the dining and shopping, you may have a hard time deciding what to do. So make your stop at the Indiana Welcome center in Hammond, and they can help you discover what you will enjoy most Along the South Shore.
