Winter Activities

Winter along the South Shore of Lake Michigan brings rosy cheeks, fluffy snow and lots of outdoor fun. Sledding is a favorite winter activity for Northwest Indiana residents and there are lots of places to choose from.

The South Shore is also home to a number of ice skating rinks, or if you're a fan of quiet, snow covered grounds and a great exercise activity, cross-country skiing might be right up your alley.

Too cold to go outside? We have some suggestions for indoor fun, too.
