An Air Quality Action Day is in effect for Lake and Porter counties through midnight tonight, which includes large sections of the park. Air pollution may reach unhealthy levels, especially for children, older adults, and people with heart or lung conditions. Visitors should consider limiting prolonged or strenuous outdoor activity, take breaks indoors or in a vehicle, and monitor current conditions at AirNow.gov.

Sometimes a sign says it all, sometimes, it says just what you need to hear. Hopefully this sign reminds you of the important things while visiting the National Park. For more information on how you can be more National Park smart, visit our tips page at nps.gov/indu/learn/tips.htm

Do not risk your life! Stay on the beach and please keep off the shelf ice. As winter temperatures continually drop, shelf ice increasingly accumulates along the shoreline, and despite its unusual beauty, visitors need to be aware of its dangers. Visit nps.gov/indu/planyourvisit/s…
