Small lakefront island and park on the southern Lake Michigan/Calumet shoreline offering marshy shorelines, open water vistas and migratory birds. Best for intimate waterscapes, birding and sunrise/sunset color. Accessible from Hammond with street parking nearby; expect uneven trails and seasonal muddy patches. Visit at golden hour for low sun across the water; weekdays and early mornings are quieter. No special entry requirements but respect habitat and local signage.
