"Mt.Baldy" "THE SMOKING DUNE"
"Mt. Baldy one of the largest dunes in the southern shore of Lake Michigan is 123 feet tall and is advancing inland at a rate of 4 to 5 feet per year. Northwest winds move Mt. Baldy inland, slowly burying the forest just south of the dune.
Viewed from a distance, the sand blowing off the top of Mt. Baldy appears as wisps of smoke, thus the term "smoking dune". "Washington Park & Beach" Washington Park is nestled in the arms of the beautiful beach of Michigan City. View a romantic sunset, or frolic on the clean beach. The park offers a place to have a barbeque, walk the carpet of green grass, or view the lake form the gazeebo. "Michigan City Zoo" Michigan City Zoo is a wonderful place for children to meet the animal world. To use their senses, touch, smell, sight,and hearing to experience and relate to an animal kingdom, just large enough for them. The guardian of the child reaps the benifits of the depiction of the sounds the children share. The wonderful odor of the animal kingdom, and the descriptions of the animals through a childs' eyes!
