The South Shore is filled with a variety of outdoor adventures including hiking the majestic dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan, cycling more than 160 miles of paved trails and rugged terrain or gazing at the vast skies at night.

Pose with public art throughout northwest Indiana like the larger-than-life murals along the Rensselaer Art Walk, sit with Orville Redenbacher downtown Valparaiso or take a photo with "Flick" stuck to the flagpole at the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond.

Visit the South Shore's quaint downtowns to shop or dine or follow your own path along the South Shore Brewery Trail to find your favorite brew.
