By the time you pass the first bridge you will leave the everyday world behind and enter a world of stunning beauty offered by mother nature.

Seven Bridges Park - Kalkaska, Michigan

Locally known as the jewel of Kalkaska County, the Seven Bridges Park is just a few miles from town on the Valley Rd.  The paths are well groomed and the bridges are in excellent repair. While a few miles from anywhere, this is one of my favorite 15 minute vacations while traveling the back roads.

This wonderful park is an easy walk for most anyone.

West of Rapid City on Valley Rd. about four miles you will see a small sign announcing, 7 Bridges Park. While it is easy to drive on by, don't do it. This is the Jewel of Kalkaska county. When you get out of your car the first thing you are aware of is the sound of tumbling water. Just a few feet down the rustic path you come to the first bridge.
