Ada Covered Bridge & Village

Twenty minutes east buys you an 1867 covered bridge and a village made for wandering.

Bridge, river, ice cream in the village | a whole gentle afternoon.

Ada's village district draws a steady weekend-afternoon crowd | quiet the rest of the week.

The Ada Covered Bridge has spanned the Thornapple River since 1867 | one of Michigan’s few surviving originals, rebuilt lovingly after a 1979 fire. The adjacent Ada village district grew into a genuinely walkable cluster of shops, restaurants, and a seasonal farmers market, twenty minutes east of downtown GR.
