Dunes region safety

[Geoman]

I'm from the southern part of the state. I'm looking for advice on unsafe areas to avoid while visiting the dunes. Anybody?

Gary and Chicago for crime.

Valpo for college kids and professors.

Very few college kids and professors on campus now. So you are safe.

Indiana Dunes?

The National Lakeshore is Federal. So, all Fed rules apply (no firearms in buildings, for one).

The State Park portion allows lawfully possessed handguns.

To put it in the most general terms: east and south of the Park is fine (Michigan City and Chesterton/Valpo). Don't go much west (Gary). Lots of stuff to do up that way.

If you are talking about the sink hole, mount baldy is off limits this year.

BTW I don't see a Greetings thread for you so,

Yup. Drive four hours north to Empire Michigan. Better Dunes, better crowd. In general

Warren Dunes (IIRC) in Michigan are pretty good too. It's a MI state park...

We just got back from Silver Lake Dunes up near Pen****er/Luddington. Had a blast. Need to drop a few pics in the Jeep thread...

I was wondering the same, kinda like when sweet water beer is discussed here.

I would further the sentiment regarding Warren Dunes. When I was a kid, we went to the IDNL ONCE, every other trip was to Warren. It's worth the extra time.
