9 Best and Fun Things To Do In Allegan, Michigan


TouristWire Editors

This quaint and significant town situated along the banks of the Kalamazoo River offers visitors to West Michigan a chance to embark on an inland excursion.

It’s home to the Old Iron Bridge, a structure that played an important role in the town’s past. To that end, the annual Bridgefest is held every June to commemorate its significance.

The Riverfront is a great place to relax and unwind, but also offers plenty of action for those who come seeking thrills.

Two 600-foot zip lines span the water, offering fast-paced fun and scenic views of the river, while a newly installed splash pad is a great way to cool off afterwards.

The downtown area is known for its selection of specialty shops and antique stores, as well as bars, grills, upscale restaurants, and cozy cafés.
