Outdoors: Kemil Beach

Dunes Click to Enlarge Kemil Beach Click to Enlarge Introduction Kemil Beach marks the eastern boundary of Indiana Dunes State Park; to get to the shore walk a few hundred yards north of the parking area along road 300 East. Trails The Dune Ridge Trail begins in the southeast corner of the parking area; it’s a short (0.6 mile) loop that passes through several habitat types, including foredunes, oak savanna forest, and wetlands. There is an observation platform, but the trees that now press in close around it have long since blocked any views it once afforded. Facilities Bathrooms, with flush toilets.
