Located at the confluence of Lake Michigan and the Burns Waterway within the boundaries of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, this 60 acre park is the primary access to the lake and the National Park for a large population in the region. SEH facilitated planning and coordinated a cooperative effort between the National Park Service and the City of Portage to make this project a reality. Finished in 2008, this park is the first built project to come out of the award-winning Marquette Plan.
