Planned canoe launches along the Little Calumet River. The text below comes from a Chesterton Tribune article posted October 5, 2017...

At this time, there is not a single formally developed canoe/kayak launch along the East Branch of the Little Calumet River. Shirley Heinze Land Trust, however, plans to install two canoe/kayak launches on its sites along the river: the Keith Richard Walner Nature Preserve in Porter, and the Wykes-Plampin Nature Preserve in Westchester Township. Hiking trails, interpretive signage, and small parking areas will also be installed at these sites to allow for more recreational use and appreciation of the river.
