Zao Island is a unique and peaceful spot along the shores of Porter County, offering a serene escape from the world. This charming oasis, accessible by a short footbridge, features Spanish moss-draped trees, butterflies, and wildflowers, making it perfect for picnics and relaxing conversations. The island's winding paths lead to encounters with wildlife, including deer and kingfishers. Visitors of all ages can enjoy date nights, family outings, or solo relaxation amidst nature's gentle rhythms. While some visitors find the games to be a bit pricey, the winter special of 1/2 price Tuesdays is a welcome offer. Despite some minor issues, Zao Island remains a cherished spot for many, ideal for creating memories along Lake Michigan's shore.
