Along the south shore of Lake Michigan, you will find one of our state?s natural wonders, the Indiana Dunes. And if you?re looking for a challenge, look no further than?The 3 Dune Challenge. The hike takes you up to three of the tallest dunes on the southern shore of Lake Michigan: Mt. Jackson, Mt. Holden and Mt. Tom. If you conquer the challenge, stop by the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center (opens June 14) to buy a shirt and pick up a free commemorative sticker or decal and postcards

Griffin Bike Park?in Terre Haute began as a Bicentennial Legacy Project by Gene and Donna Griffin. The premiere 2+mile stacked loop trail system includes two multi-use core trails and beginner, intermediate and advanced bike-specific trail networks. Last year, they opened the Warrior Trail, an accessible path, named in honor of their son, Sgt. Dale Griffin. Unfortunately, Sgt. Griffin paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan in 2009.

The?Pete Dye Golf Trail?is a one-of-a-kind collection of golf courses, you?ll only find in Indiana. Dye is considered in many circles to be the most influential golf course architect of the last five decades. While best known for epic designs like the TPC at Sawgrass, Dye honed his craft right here in Indiana. He is considered a true golf icon.

?Golf tourism is $70 billion industry in the U.S., and this trail puts Indiana on the map,??said Misty Weisensteiner. "Along with golf, our state parks and nature preserves are top notch and have offer several activities, like hiking, biking, climbing and birding."
