Many Hoosiers already know about Indiana’s hidden gems and its remarkable scenery, but now everyone else knows it too. The Indiana Dunes was recently ranked as one of the most Instagrammable National Parks in the country.
The travel website Places to Travel examined Instagram data and the size of each park to find the park with the highest “hashtags per acre.”
Indiana Dunes ranks 9th in the country, over Yosemite, according to the study by Places to Travel.
With more than 15,0000 acres, the Indiana Dunes National Park has over 50 miles of trails leading through sand dunes, woodlands and prairies. Overnight camping is available from April 1 through Oct. 31 each year.
The study revealed that St. Louis’s Gateway Arch National Park in Missouri is the most Instagrammable national park.
“Social media continues to play a pivotal role in where we decide to travel to for vacation or for a weekend trip, with many social media users taking to their favorite platform to see the best beauty spots at their chosen destination,” a spokesperson for Places to Travel said.
