The iconic Fallasburg Covered Bridge is a 100-foot long historic span across the Flat River that leads into the sleepy Village. The bridge was built in 1871 from pine timbers and brown trusses and is one of only two covered bridges open to vehicle traffic in Michigan. It was part of the main road leading to Grand Rapids before the railroad was built along the Grand River. Signs at each portal warn of a “$5 fine for riding or driving faster than a walk.” The Fallasburg Covered Bridge was listed with the Michigan State Register of Historic Places on February 12, 1959, and the National Register on March 16, 1972.
