Top 10 Bridges in Michigan, United States

June 2, 2021 Elouise Mccaul

Think you need an ocean for a beach? Think again. There are miles and miles of sandy lakefront beaches in Michigan (thanks to the four Great Lakes that border it). The west coast of Michigan has especially nice beaches—try a rental in Muskegon, Grand Haven or Saugatuck. You won’t need a car when visiting Mackinac Island. In fact, they’re not allowed—this lovely Victorian resort town is pedestrian-only.

Mackinac Bridge

Linking Michigan's two peninsulas, this mighty bridge has a total length of five miles.

We went over the bridge once in the evening and then in the afternoon a few days later. The bridge towers high above the straits separating Lake Michigan from Lake Huron, and is several miles long. There are viewpoints along the shoreline at either end of the bridge. We stopped at on on the St Ignace side at a gift shop with a viewing platform. The speed limit on the bridge is 25 mph, so there is plenty of time to enjoy the view while driving over. The toll is $4 each way for a passenger car. There are two lanes in each direction with the center lanes made of steel grating which makes a humming sound as you drive. The outer lanes are paved. At night the bridge is lit with lights, for a good evening view. With its tall support towers and long suspension span (longest in North America) the bridge is an engineering marvel that connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan.

Staying overnight in Houghton, we enjoy a picnic dinner on a picnic table overlooking the bridge. The park along the river provides many pretty viewing locations. Sunset was beautiful!

Blue Water Bridge

Reviewed By danielbM7759DN - North Canton, United States

The “BLUE WATER BRIDGE”, is a busy international border crossing between the US and Canada. The massive architecture of the “Blue Water Bridge” acts as the main focal point. The blue waters of Lake Huron and the clean, swift currents of the St. Clair River, provides enough composition to make this a masterpiece for the Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia, Ontario landscape and skyline’s. It provides excellent photo opportunities and is a marvel to sit and gaze at.

This bridge is just scary enough, but not too scary! The park is beautiful! The disc golf course is amaZing! They have a splash park for those too-hot days of summer. This park has everything you need, with picnic areas and lots of grassy space for games too.

Beautiful bridge! We heard there was hot chocolate to buy somewhere but didn’t spot any. Gorgeous bridge, and the snow made it even more breathtaking!
