About

Historic Bridge Park is a county park in Michigan found along the Kalamazoo River. It's sort of hidden from view, so visitors must have a sharp eye. The park has five restored road bridges, some dating back to the 1800s. There is also a tunnel bridge under the railroad tracks. All the bridges can be walked and the trail also connects to the North Country Trail System. 

There are boardwalks, picnic areas, a playground, and access to the Kalamazoo River for canoeing and kayaking. Dickinson Creek also runs through the park.
