A Weekend at Warren Dunes

Do you already need a break from your fall schedule even though the kids just started school? If so, set aside some time to visit Warren Dunes State Park. Just two hours north of Lafayette, Indiana, Warren Dunes State Park is the ideal place for a Labor Day trip or an early fall retreat. From swimming in the lake to building sand castles, you’ll get to enjoy all of your favorite summer pastimes. Warren Dunes offers the following activities: •Hiking: Can you conquer the dunes? You’ll find six miles of trails that weave up, down, and through the incredible dunes that tower 260 feet above the lake. The exquisite view at the top makes the climb especially worthwhile. •Swimming: Floating in the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan is incredibly refreshing. Warren Dunes has three miles of shoreline, so you’ll have plenty of room to tan, play Frisbee, and watch the sun set. •Camping: Whether you prefer tents, RVs, or cabins, this park has a campsite for everyone. You’ll even find campsites with full hook-ups. Reservations are required; call 269-426-4013 to reserve your family’s spot. Plan one last minivacation for your family at Warren Dunes today before the chill of fall arrives. Getting There While the beautiful beaches give Warren Dunes an exotic atmosphere, the park is only 140 miles from West Lafayette. The easiest way to get there is to take Interstate 65 N to Interstate 94 E and get off at Exit 12. Before you leave for your getaway, bring your vehicle to Auto Specialty of Lafayette, Inc.
