About the Town
Michiana
Sitting exactly on the border of Michigan and Indiana, Michiana is the southernmost town in Harbor Country and the quickest escape from Chicago. It is a deeply nostalgic, heavily wooded residential village known for its distinctive s log cabins hidden among the trees.
There is no commercial district here, and that is exactly the point. You navigate the winding roads by old bus stop markers to find the quiet beach access points. Michiana is the destination for those who want to turn off their phones, build a fire, and listen to the lake.
