What Treasures Can the Park Reveal?

The Calumet region is the unrecognized missing link between the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore on the east and the Illinois Heritage Corridor on the west. All of these lands together form a wonderful green chain that supports the diversity of wildlife enjoyed by the entire Illinois/Indiana region. Travelers who pass by the Calumet region on their way from the Indiana Dunes to the Heritage Corridor never know what they have missed!

No these are not leaves. They are part of the spring migration of tens of thousands of blackbirds. They fill the trees before dusk, then descend on the reeds in Deadstick Pond at sunset.
