Chesterton, Indiana
Just beyond the sandy shore of a 15-mile coastline, runners can map out a route along more than 70 miles of trails at the Indiana Dunes. The mix of rocky terrain and sand dunes offers a challenging workout, and the spectacular views of Lake Michigan provide inspiration to keep pushing through. On clear days, runners can even see Chicago in the distance!
Those who want a more challenging routine can opt to run trail 10, a six-mile loop that incorporates deep forest running with sand dune hills.
