Little Mac Bridge, 700 N. Park St, Reed City, Michigan ~ July 2025

It took us a few minutes to locate it but we did after asking a nearby camper. She didn't know it by its name but knew there was a rickety old bridge that way. It's located in Rambadt Park, a small campground and playground. There are also a few trails to explore there.
Spanning the Hersey River, the wooden bridge is 150 feet long, is very wobbly and sways when you step onto it. So hold on to the railing 😉 It's a nice, little roadside attraction if you're in the area.
Visit the Little Mac Foot Bridge in Mesick for a much more impressive bridge 😊

Historic Bridge Park, 14930 Wattles Road, Battle Creek, MI

It's not only historic but also unique. Five metal bridges have been moved to this park after they outlived their usefulness in their original locations. They all connect to each other via short trails. But before the park even existed, Dixon's Bridge was here, serving the railroad. The stone arch bridge was built in 1892. When another set of railroad tracks was added, a concrete arch bridge was added to the stone arch.








Here are the five metal bridges.


This path took us to our second bridge.





A sculpture in the woods can be found by the Gale Road Bridge.




The Bauer Bridge bridge dead-ends in the woods, and watch out for this while you're walking.
We next came to the 20 Mile Road Bridge.



Our last bridge was our favorite but you need to climb steps to get to it.





Here's a little not-historic bridge back to the parking lot 😉
The North Country Trail passes through the park.
Located on the North Branch of the Kalamazoo River, the park is a gorgeous place.

Established in 1999, the park had to be temporarily closed in 2010 due to an Enbridge oil spill.

It's a lovely place to visit.
