It's called the “Skybridge”, and boy, is it ever.
It's set to open to the public on Saturday, October 15 near Boyne City. It's the world’s longest timber-towered suspension bridge that will give visitors many panoramic views of Boyne Valley. Not only will you be able to walk over the woods, but it'll be open during winter so you can walk and look down at all the skiiers!

Yes, you'll need tickets and you'll find them online. Keep in mind, this is NOT a vehicle bridge – it is for pedestrians only.

So what makes it the world's longest? Here are some...
FAST FACTS (courtesy of Mlive):
1,200 feet long
