Seven Bridges Nature Area | Northern Michigan History I had heard of Seven Bridges but had never visited and I was excited to walk the trail and see all the bridges.

Locals refer to it as the Jewel of Kalkaska County. Beside the beauty of the area the Rapid River is a blue ribbon trout stream.

Rugg Pond Dam | Northern Michigan History Rugg Pond was formed by a dam that was intended to generate power for the communities and was built where branches of the Rapid River meet.

Rugg Pond is a reservoir in Rapid River Twp. It has an interesting history including reports that Hemingway spent a night fishing from the powerhouse. He supposedly wrote The Battle while fishing. northernmichiganhistory.com/rugg-pond-dam/ #ernesthemingway #hemingway #ruggpond #kalkaska #rapidriver

Exploring Seven Bridges Nature Area | Adventures in Northern Michigan I had heard of Seven Bridges but had never visited and I was excited to walk the trail and see all the bridges.

As we walked down the well-maintained trail the sound of running water surrounded us. The entire area was so beautiful and peaceful. adventuresinnorthernmichigan.com/exploring-se... #sevenbridges #kalkaska #rapidriver #hikingtrails #trails
