US EditionTrump Administration Opposes Establishing Indiana Dunes as National Park
- The Trump administration is objecting to a bipartisan effort in the Senate to upgrade the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore’s status to that of a national park.

- Indiana Dunes includes beaches, wetlands, and trails, and supporters argue the national park status would increase visitation and boost local businesses despite administration resistance.
- Acting National Park Service Director P. Daniel Smith stated the Department of the Interior "does not support" the redesignation, while Senator Donnelly hopes the Senate will still approve the measure.
- The opposition delays potential benefits for Northwest Indiana’s tourism and highlights ongoing tensions over federal land designations under the current administration.
