Indiana Dunes trail maps

Here’s a Miller Woods trail map, which shows the Paul H. Douglas Trail and the network of trails surrounding the Paul H. Douglas Environmental Education Center.

The West Beach trail map focuses on this very popular area of Indiana Dunes National Park. There are several loops, including the Dune Succession Trail and Long Lake Trail.

This Tolleston Dunes trail map shows the couple miles of trails that wind through the Tolleston Dunes system. The Tolleston Dunes Overlook is also shown, which is accessed from further west on Highway 12.

This Portage Riverwalk trail map shows this popular route along the Burns Waterway. Note that as of 2025, the center segment of the trail is closed due to erosion and only the north and south ends can be accessed.

I call this the Bailly Homestead trail map, but it also includes many other hiking trails around Chellberg Farm and the Little Calumet River, as well as the Porter Brickyard Bike Trail.

The Cowles Bog trail map includes both the Cowles Bog Trailhead and Greenbelt Trailhead. These routes connect together in a loop system that ventures out to Lake Michigan.

This is a Glenwood Dunes trail map, which shows a few different loops. This extensive trail system connects to Dunewood Campground in the east and the Dune Park South Shore Railroad Station to the west.

The Calumet Dunes trail map shows a short loop that includes paved trail and boardwalk. It’s accessed from the USGS Lake Michigan Ecological Research Station (which is actually Indiana Dunes’ old visitor center).

This is a Dune Ridge trail map, showing the short loop hike with a steep climb and views of forest and wetlands from above. You can reach it from E State Park Road en route to Kemil and Dunbar beaches.

Here’s a Great Marsh trail map, which explores Lake Michigan’s largest wetland. It’s very popular among birders and features a short loop and an observation deck for waterbird, wader, and songbird viewing.

The Heron Rookery trail map focuses on a small area along the Little Calumet River. The trail connects two parking lots and can be done as an out-and-back or shuttle, but note that herons no longer nest in this area.

The Pinhook Bog trail map includes the Upland Trail, which winds through beech and maple trees, and the out-and-back Pinhook Bog trail. It’s located southeast of the main park in a small detached parcel.

Here’s a Mount Baldy trail map, which shows the Mount Baldy Beach Trail hike. Mount Baldy and the Summit Trail are closed for public access, but periodic ranger-led hikes provide access to the summit.

The Hoosier Prairie trail map shows this State Nature Reserve located southwest of the main Indiana Dunes park. It includes an accessible trail as well as a Savanna Trail loop and the Prairie Marsh Trail.

This Hobart Prairie trail map shows a detached unit of Indiana Dunes, located southwest. The Oak Savannah trail is open for cycling, and a footpath spurs off to an overlook of Lake George.

Indiana Dunes campground maps

This is a Dunewood campground map, showing both drive-in and walk-in campsites. The map is color-coded to show the size of parking pads so you’ll know which ones will fit your RV or vehicle.

Here’s a Central Avenue campsite map. These five primitive walk-in campsites are located near Central Avenue Beach. The map indicates the distance you’ll need to walk to reach each site from the parking lot and vault toilet.

Indiana Dunes picnic map

Here’s an Indiana Dunes picnic map, which labels all Indiana Dunes National Park picnic areas. Each is labeled to show if it’s reservable (Bailly Chellberg and West Beach) and whether it has a shelter.
