PORTER, Ind. (AP) – Three property owners with land along northwest Indiana’s Lake Michigan shoreline have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to undo a 2018 ruling by Indiana’s high court which declared that the shoreline is owned by the state for the public’s enjoyment. In their petition asking the Supreme Court to review the case, the plaintiffs from the town of Porter insist that their property deeds include a private beach on the lake. The Times of Northwest Indiana reports that their request to the high court comes after a federal appeals court found they lack standing to challenge in federal court the Indiana Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling.
