Indiana Dunes

Indiana Dunes National Park may not always be top of mind when people think of national parks, but it’s a hidden gem on the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Just beyond busy urban areas, it offers a surprising escape, a stretch of sandy beaches, rolling dunes, and quiet trails where wildlife thrives.

The park tells many stories: of shifting landscapes shaped by wind and waves, of diverse plant and animal life tucked into its wetlands and forests, and of generations who have come here to enjoy the lake. For me, it felt like a little oasis—part beach getaway, part natural refuge, and a reminder that wild spaces can exist right alongside city life.

This collection is inspired by the balance Indiana Dunes strikes between nature and community, offering both a place to recharge and a landscape worth protecting.
