Luckily, it's just a mile east of the trail head at South Haven, so it's easily accessible to casual walkers as well as to avid bicyclists. Nichols Bridge is one of West Michigan's newest covered bridges. Robert Nichols donated the materials in 1988 to convert an existing railroad trestle bridge into a covered bridge in memory of his late father. The Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps actually rebuilt the trestle into a 108-foot long covered footbridge. It crosses the south branch of the Black River about one mile east of the South Haven trail head and one-half mile east of the Blue Star Highway.
Snowmobiles are welcome when a minimum four-inch snow base is present.
There are also 14 miles of equestrian trails along the route. Park hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. year around. It is a destination guide comprised of members of West Michigan Tourist Association. We assure you that as members, each destination listed is dedicated to making your visit memorable.
