SkyBridge Michigan is making its debut as the world’s longest timber-towered suspension bridge and opening to the public on Saturday, October 15, 2022. Located at Boyne Mountain Resort, a celebrated destination in Michigan renowned for its outdoor recreation, the new pedestrian bridge offers resort guests and northern Michigan visitors an exhilarating experience year-round.
SkyBridge Michigan is positioned between the peaks of McLouth and Disciples Ridge. The architectural masterpiece stands at approximately 1,200 feet long. Bridge visitors can expect a thrilling adventure with panoramic views of Boyne Valley. The experience starts with a chairlift ride to the mountain top, followed by an open-air walk across a suspended five-foot-wide walking surface nearly 118 feet above the valley floor. Guests can cross and then make a return trip back across the bridge for ample views and thrill. For an unobstructed glimpse of the valley floor below, a thirty-six-foot span of see-through glass flooring is located in the middle of the bridge. Eagle’s Nest, the adjacent mountain peak eatery, offers visitors a unique dining experience. Historical resort memorabilia continued views of Boyne Valley, a full bar, and a menu of hearty sandwiches, soups, and burgers await guests at the restaurant.
Since its first opening in 1948, a pioneering spirit has been at the core of Boyne Mountain Resort. Sky Bridge Michigan is the latest record-breaking fascination within the resort’s rich history of several industry firsts.
