Jeorse Park Beach, owned and operated by the City of East Chicago, is located along the Lake Michigan shoreline just southeast of Indiana Harbor and Shipping Canal.
The completed project restored 4500 feet of shoreline for aquatic habitat, including near shore fisheries, beach, foredune and remnant dune and swale habitats, and over 25 acres of lake bottom.
The project was funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI).
