Calumet Trail

Calumet Trail

The Calumet Trail is an east-west bicycle and multiuse recreational trail in northwestern Indiana's Calumet region, running roughly parallel to US 12 and the right-of-way of the South Shore line, along the NIPSCO easement. It runs for about 9.1 miles from Mineral Springs Road in Chesterton, Indiana, to a point by the county line of Porter County and LaPorte County, very close to the parking lot entrance of a local sand dune landmark, Mount Baldy. The surface is of crushed limestone and is frequently used by cyclists and joggers in the warmer months. Deer and other wildlife are often seen along the trail, which loosely connects with other bicycle/multiuse trails in northwestern Indiana in a loose arc from near the Illinois state line to near the Michigan state line, bringing trail users in proximity to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and the Indiana Dunes State Park. The Calumet Trail is managed by the Porter County Parks Department. [ [http://www.indianatrails.org/Calumet.htm Calumet Trail ] ]
