Geographic Landscapes of Indiana Dunes National Park Beyond Lake Ecosystems

While open water shapes much of the immediate shoreline, the broader park landscape contains diverse geological categories that highlight different physical and ecological zones. Exploring alternative physical classifications helps reveal how wind, sand, and vegetation interact to create complex coastal terrain and unique preservation habitats.

Peaks

A peak is a named summit or locally highest point on a mountain, ridge, hill, massif, or other elevated landform. Its identity may be defined by elevation, prominence, topographic form, established naming, or its position within a larger mountain system. A peak is the summit feature itself, not automatically the entire mountain or range that contains it.
