Visit the Muskegon Shipwreck Sanctuary in Lake Michigan or hike the prairie

Here are some deals from this week’s outdoor adventure column.

Shipwreck inauguration

Indiana will dedicate its second shipwreck preserve on July 18 to the USS Muskegon, which sank in Lake Michigan near Mount Baldy in the Indiana Dunes in 1911. The public can attend a celebration from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. CDT at the Old Lighthouse Museum, 100 Heisman Harbor Road, Michigan City, with the ceremony beginning at 3:30 p.m. A model of the Muskegon and its artist will be there, and there will be food trucks.

Charles Beeker of Indiana University’s Center for Underwater Science and state and national parks staff will visit the preserve itself to install a mooring buoy, place a bronze plaque in the water and take underwater photographs.
