To start this route, get yourself to the intersection of US Hwy 6 and Rt 49 (mid way between Chesterton and Valparaiso). From there just take US Rt 6 east all the way to Walkerton, IN.
Scenery
Completely rural countryside with some residential areas ... beautiful summer/fall ride.
Drive Enjoyment
Two-lane highway traveling through the countryside. This is northwest Indiana so it's pretty much flat ... elevation doesn't really change. :-(
Tourism Opportunities
Few small towns offer gas, a convenience store or two, and not much more. You'll be taking this route for the sleep rural scenery not the things to do along the way.

Why stop at Walkerton. 6 is a great laid back ride clear to Ohio and beyond. Try it you'll like it.

Only a small area of the road was worth seeing It had overhanging trees. Since you are already in the area it is definitly worth going to the Sand Dunes.

This road is not exciting at all. But if you must....go all the way to the Indiana Dunes near IN/MI line. That's about the only pretty area in NW Indiana.
