The Tridge is a renowned three-legged wooden footbridge located in Chippewassee Park, Midland, Michigan. Spanning the confluence of the Tittabawassee and Chippewa Rivers, this iconic structure has been attracting tourists from all over the country since its opening in 1981. With its central pillar standing at 31 feet tall and three spokes extending 180 feet, the Tridge offers a picturesque view and serves as a starting point for the Pere Marquette Rail Trail.
Not only is the Tridge a popular tourist attraction, but it also holds significance as the focal point for summer evening concerts and marks the beginning of the Chippewa Nature trail. While primarily a footbridge, it allows bicycles, skateboards, and in-line skates. The Tridge underwent a major renovation project in 2017, funded by the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation, which included improvements such as new decking, railing posts, and a programmable LED lighting system. Despite its $2.7 million cost, the Tridge remains a cherished community landmark in Midland.
