This is a cache in a
series of caches associated with the “Tour de Calumet Trail”. These
caches were designed for those who enjoying cycling. You can
however choose to hike the trail but be forewarned it is 10 miles
one way. I have included several parking places along the trail.
This will help you choose the distance you which to travel at one
time perhaps if feel inclined to do the trail from start to finish,
or break it up in small parts. Choose the parking location the fits
your needs I frequently ride along this trail and have hiked it as
well. There is much to see and enjoy for those who enjoy nature.
The trail is in close proximity to the Indiana Dunes National Park
and runs parallel to the shore of Lake Michigan (approx. 1 mile
inland in most areas). The trail travels through many ecosystems,
marshland, prairie, grassland, and woods. There are many different
species of plant life and an abundance of birds and wildlife. I
encourage you to come enjoy what the trail has to
offer….
This is a trail that is part of the
Hoosiers Rails to Trails program and is part of the collection of
trails that link up and connect to the Chicago trail systems. The
calumet trail is made of crushed limestone and is not paved.
However is fairly easy to ride on. I would not recommend small
bikes with training wheels. There is no water available on this
trail. Please bring water!!! There are two South Shore Train
stations that have public facilities with water fountains. Dogs are
welcomed on a leash. Bug spray would be a good idea. And by all
means watch out for deer…
