Bicycling in Indiana Dunes Details

Cycling enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities to explore Indiana Dunes on two wheels. The Calumet Bike Trail runs parallel to the South Shore Line for 9 miles, providing a rugged ride through wetlands and woodlands. This trail is best suited for those with mountain bikes or hybrid bikes due to its uneven gravel path. For a smoother ride, the Prairie Duneland Trail, located just outside the park, is a paved route that stretches for 22 miles, connecting Chesterton, Portage, and Hobart. This trail is great for families, casual cyclists, and long-distance riders looking for a scenic, well-maintained path. Many of the park's roads and nearby state park areas also offer safe cycling routes, making biking a great way to explore Indiana Dunes at a slower pace while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
