Visitor & Driver Tips
When traveling along rural county roads like 60th Street, keep watch for local farm machinery and wildlife, especially during dawn and dusk. In winter months, drivers should verify local snow clearing conditions and equip vehicles appropriately for Michigan lake-effect winter weather. If you are towing a trailer or watercraft, ensure you allow ample turning clearance upon approach and confirm your vehicle is safely secured on flat ground.
