World's longest timber tower suspension bridge opens in Michigan
BOYNE FALLS, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - There's a new thing to add to your Michigan bucket list: walk the world's longest suspension bridge.
SkyBridge Michigan is now open at Boyne Mountain Resort in northern Michigan, about an hour northeast of Traverse City.
The SkyBridge has 1,023 feet of suspended walking surface. The span from end of tower to end of tower is around 1,200 feet. The walking surface is about 5 feet wide.
Walkers can enjoy spectacular views of Boyne Valley during the fall season. In the winter, walkers can also enjoy birds-eye views of skiers below. The bridge, by the way, is designed for pedestrian, foot traffic only.
The SkyBridge was designed and installed by the same group behind the Gatlinburg SkyBridge in Tennessee.
