Proposed by Shirley Heinze Land Trust, the Little Calumet River Conservation Area in Porter and LaPorte Counties would cover more than 10 river miles of the Little Calumet, a tributary of Lake Michigan.
The area features forested floodplain with oxbow lakes, ideal habitat for migratory birds, and opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.
An excellent framework of protected property already exists within the corridor, including Reynolds Creek Fish and Wildlife Area and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Herron Rookery.
