4 sites · RV, Tent

Red Bridge River Access Site gets it’s name from an old red bridge that used to mark the site. Red Bridge River Access may be down a red bridge but it gets a perfect 10 for activities. Think superb fresh water fishing for salmon, steelhead, varieties of trout and walleye; access to the Manistee River Trail, a 23 mile loop through thick Michigan forest; and boating of all kinds. With so many choices you might want to double up on the burgers, brats and potato salad.
