According to Explore, the best vacation spot in Indiana is one that may or may not come as a surprise to you...Indiana Dunes National Park. Here's what Explore had to say:

For a quieter side of Lake Michigan, head about an hour southeast of Chicago to 15,000 acres of peaceful beaches, dunes, forests, and trails. Indiana Dunes National Park and Indiana Dunes State Park offer swimming, camping, fishing, horseback riding, and more. Don't miss the Paul H. Douglas Trail, West Beach, Portage Beach, and over 60 historic structures, including five houses transported from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. Nearby Chesterton is a charming town full of galleries, theaters, shops, restaurants, and spas.
