Lake Street Beach

Lake Street Beach extends along Lake Michigan with a wide sandy shoreline bordered by natural windswept dunes and cottonwood trees.

The beach marks the beginning of Indiana Dunes National Park, established in 2019 after decades of preservation efforts by local communities.

Local residents gather at Lake Street Beach for swimming, kayaking, and nature observation while maintaining the natural character of the shoreline.

Visitors can access seasonal parking facilities at 860 North Lake Street, with direct pathways leading to the beach and neighboring hiking trails.

From the shoreline, the Chicago skyline appears across Lake Michigan, creating a striking contrast between urban architecture and natural landscape.
