We have some impressive bridges in the Great Lake State like the iconic Mackinac Bridge or the newly created Skybridge which is the world’s longest timber-towered suspension bridge. While these bridges are incredible they are also popular tourist attractions, so why not hike across a free and easily accessible bridge instead? Check out this beautiful dog park and suspension bridge trail in Jenison, Michigan that is perfect for an afternoon stroll.

Grand Ravines Loop is located in Ottawa County in West Michigan.

While Grand Ravines is well known for being a popular dog park, there are also glorious trails that feature breathtaking views and wildlife.

The 2.8-mile loop trail is an easy route with a combination of paved and natural pathways that takes an average of one hour to complete. The trails are very kid-friendly and children will love seeing the dogs in the park and walking on the trails (Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash).
