Outdoor Recreation
Want to camp at the Dunes? Play disc golf? Cross-country ski through a nature preserve? Ride a mountain bike over local trails? You don’t need your own equipment to take advantage of the many outdoor recreational opportunities available in the Valpo area.
The Bell & Beacon in the Harre Union rents a variety of outdoor equipment.
