South Shore of Indiana's Lake Michigan

Beauty, history, fun and excitement are yours to discover on the South Shore of Lake Michigan. Just a short 30 minute drive away from the heart of downtown Chicago, the South Shore is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the gracious hospitality of the country's Midwest. Lounge on the majestic sand dunes, or take a leisurely stroll through the 5,700 acres of Lake County's park system. Spend your time here bird watching, or spend the afternoon on a charter boat on Lake Michigan.

If it's excitement you like, head to one of our four lake-front casino boats for the thrill of gaming. Or you can take the family to the waterpark or rent a jet ski for an action-packed day on the lake. Try one of our many excellent restaurants or take in a show and enjoy top name entertainment. Whether you're looking for a quiet getaway or an exciting weekend, the South Shore has something for everyone.
