Indiana Dunes National Park

NORTHWEST INDIANA - Indiana Dunes National Park has not been a national park for even a year, but tourism is up significantly.  

Lorelei Weimer, Executive Director of Indiana Dunes Tourism says this year there is nothing other than the designation of Indiana Dunes as a national park that would be driving that number up.  

Weimer talked to Lakeshore Public Radio Reporter/Show Host Sharon Jackson about what the volunteers have been seeing at the visitor center.
