Outside you have a picnic table, fire ring stocked with wood and small grill, charcoal provided for the first meal. (bring xtra charcoal). 5 gal water jug with hand pump. This is a great spot to retire after a day of fun and excitement touring our natural river or the local wineries and attractions.

The space
Our property is located on the Lower Kalamazoo River at the New Richmond river bend at the end of 57th Street . The nostalgic aire of this historic village trestle crossing provides a tranquil place to relax after a day of adventure. The swing bridge , now a pedestrian walking bridge, is the centerpiece of our beautiful walking park and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Locations. Great spot for morning walks and fishermen. Our village was once a bustling center of commerce on the Kalamazoo River, but now sits quietly on the New Richmond Riverbend. Drive or paddle in to where concrete ends and the fun begins!!
