Trailhead for the Gary Green Link Trail leading through dunes, marshes and woodlands near Lake Michigan. Good for moody landscape and nature shots—contrasts of native vegetation, boardwalks, and distant industrial skyline. Best at sunrise or golden hour for low-angle light and long shadows; weekdays and early mornings minimize people. Small parking area at the trailhead; paths are mostly flat but can be muddy after rain. No entry fee; respect protected habitat and seasonal bird nesting areas.
