Purple Jewels of Paul Douglas Trail
Lupine flourishes along the Paul H. Douglas Trail in Miller Woods, part of Indiana Dunes National Park. These vibrant wildflowers thrive in the globally rare black oak savanna, benefiting from the open canopy and sunlight. Lupine supports the endangered Karner blue butterfly, whose caterpillars rely exclusively on it for food. Mid-May is the perfect time to visit.
