So Fox Island Nature Preserve is only 2 miles from Lutheran Hospital.  I never knew this was there.  I found this trail also in my Hiking Indiana Falcon Guide.  This trail took us a bit to find the actual beginning trail head.  We had a map, but we were turned around and ended up walking a few side trails before actually finding the beginning of the major Dune Trails.  Today was very hot, 90 degrees and there were lots of bugs.  We were getting tired and only able to walk about half of the Upper Dune Trail.  We ended up on some of the Lower Dune Trail too. We were a bit disappointed that we couldn’t see more of the actual Dune from where we were at today.  Definitely going back to walk the other half of these trails.
