Enjoyed the historical society for the first time, (after over a dozen vistits to LaPorte) You have a gem there! Love the drive up 35 into town. Wish you had a prerecorded pod cast to listen to as we drive past those historic homes. Wow on your court house! We stay often at the Blue Heron, the walking path that goes by it is fantastic. LOVE the musical stops on either side!

Look for itself was okay very disappointed with the Aries Resort because it was so not a resort it was a construction site you got chemical burns from the pool nothing was what it seemed no breakfast no bar no heat terrible terrible Hotel but look for was okay again please don't go to the Aries Resort not a good place they really should not be operating right now my daughter almost fell down the Elevator Shaft that had no caution signs around it and got chemical burns from their pool and when brought to their attention they didn't have nothing to say I had a waterfall in my room that damaged my stuff I was told I would get a refund from the hotel but of course that never happened I'm just forewarning anybody before they stay at the Aries Resort not a resort construction site.

Main attractiion was Pine Lake. The main entrance road into the city is lined with large trees and well-maintained houses from the early 1900's. Conveniently located a short drive from Lake Michigan; which has a beauty all it's own. The beach is clean and the fresh water of this member of the Great Lakes is clear and cool; very refreshing. LaPorte is around an hour drive from Downtown Chicago.

LaPorte is French for "The Door", and this area is the doorway that leads from rural / agricultural Indiana to industrial Indiana. The town of LaPorte has two large inland lakes for boating, fishing and swimming, and is just south of the Michigan town of New Buffalo, which has public access to Lake Michigan's beachfront. Just west of LaPorte is Michigan City, which hosts the Blue Chip casino, the Friendship Botanical Garden and several art galleries and theaters. The South Shore line also has a very well trafficked station on Carroll Street in Michigan City; the train's Van Buren Street station lies directly across from the Museum of Art, and the Millennium Station terminus is in the Loop. A quick trip to Chicago while vacationing in LaPorte isn't out of the question. The big tip re: the South Shore is that the ticket agent only accepts cash, and the ticket kiosks do NOT read chip cards. So be prepared to pay cash, or pay for tickets ahead using their app. LaPorte itself has a number of restaurants along US35 west, and most of these restaurants offer delivery via the Doordash app. I ordered a meal from Christo's Family Restaurant after trekking the trails and enjoying a dip in Lake Michigan while visiting Indiana Dunes state park. I was too tired to go out, and hungry as a bear. The meal was delivered in 20 minutes, the portions were very generous and nicely prepared. The reuben sandwich and potato wedge side were sufficient for my meal; I saved the soup and biscuits for the next day. As far as getting around the town and to other locations, it is fairly easy driving. There are three major highways that provide access: the Indiana Toll Road (I80-US94), US 20 and US35. In town, there is a bike path along US35 for cyclists.
