LaPorte County, Indiana
LaPorte County straddles the line between Indiana farmland and Chicago’s orbit. You’ll find a mix of industry, agriculture, and tourism here.
Michigan City is on Lake Michigan. It gives the county a beach town vibe with its marina and outlet mall. But LaPorte is the county seat with a more laid-back atmosphere and beautiful lakes.
The Indiana Dunes National Park almost spills into the county with great hiking and birdwatching. Folks here are proud of their beaches, their farms, and their county entirely.
