    Road to Southern Lake Michigan’s Beaches and Dunes

    Venture across iconic beach towns on the southern Lake Michigan shoreline, explore or hike at Indiana Dunes National Park, and end the day watching the sunset that captures a not-too-distant skyline. Head out of the Detroit area early to make your way over to the western side of the state, which will bring you on your route alongside the southernmost shores of Lake Michigan, and later into the bustling nearby city of Chicago.
