Marquette Greenway

The Marquette Greenway is a planned regional trail extending through Northwest Indiana's Lake Michigan shoreline communities between Chicago, Illinois and New Buffalo, Michigan. 

Burns Harbor completed at 1.5 mile segment in early 2021 from State Road 149 west to the Portage boundary and is currently developing the remainder of the trail through town. This trail is considered a vital link for connecting the Eastern and Western sections of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore together and for bringing users to the future town center.
