Some say that you can only see the skyline because of refraction- but Indiana Dunes is only about 32 miles away, and at 8 inches of curvature per mile, only 21(see edit) feet of the city is obscured. Seems like you should still be able to see the city, even with minimal distortions.
Edit: 8in/mi², so it should be 683 feet- still enough to see the skyline without distortion. Silly me!

I saw a phenomenon once across Lake Michigan where the city appeared upside down. Very trippy https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/the-perfectly-scientific-explanation-for-why-chicago-appeared-upside-down-in-michigan/
