Location
Directions
STONE LAKE - 250 Pine Lake Avenue
FROM THE SOUTH - Indiana Toll Road (80/90), and take that to the La Porte/highway 39 exit.
If you're coming from the SOUTH and are coming up in an easterly trajectory, you can take I-75 up to Toledo and catch the westbound Ohio Turnpike, which turns into the Indiana Toll Road.
Coming EAST from Tennessee, Kentucky, hop on I-65. At Indianapolis hop on I-69 which takes you to the toll road by Angola or would stay on I-65 toward Chicago, which puts you on the Toll Road near Gary. You'd then get on Eastbound Toll Road (80/90) toward La Porte.
From DETROIT, I-94 to Michigan City and 35 to La Porte. Or from Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, either I-94 or US 131. 131 goes to the Toll Road.
