A whisper of ancient fog still curls beneath the hulking frame of the Old Michigan City Light, hinting at secrets Lake Michigan refuses to surrender. This is no ordinary lakeshore stroll: unwind a self-guided audio trail that slips behind the postcard scenes and presses into Michigan City’s hidden stories.

Could a dark scandal really have echoed across the sand here one midnight, reshaping the fate of the old lighthouse forever? What strange animal sightings once haunted the pathways of Washington Park Zoo after dusk? And why would a forgotten fishing rivalry on Trail Creek unleash so much chaos one stormy season?

Trace the pulse of a city shaped by shipwrecks, wild protests, animal legends, and secret loves. Each step pulls history from shadow to sunlight and spins familiar streets into the setting of your next adventure.

Begin now and let Michigan City reveal its true depths at your feet.
