Allegan County Heritage Trail
Tour
The Allegan County Tourist Council has developed a self-guided
tour so that people can discover and have adventures into the
history, sights and sounds of Allegan County. This tour will allow people to
see historic villages and towns as well as bountiful farmlands and
orchards which were and still are the backbone of this rural
county. More
information on the Heritage Trail Tour can be found at
www.allegancounty.org/heritagetrail/. This tour has numerous stops, but
it is not necessary to do them in order, they can be completed in
any order.
We plan to place caches at each historic stop along this
tour. Our goal with
this series is to have fun, but also to enjoy the beautiful sites
of Allegan County. We
also hope that we can bring some history of the area to people who
are interested. Now
let’s get on with our journey.
West Side County Park
– Lake Michigan
This site gives you a good access point to a Lake Michigan
Beach. There are
several others as well on this tour including Pier Cover, just up
the road, and Oval Beach in Saugatuck.
If the weather is nice and if you have the time, take a
walk down to the lake and enjoy the view and the sounds of the
water lapping on the shoreline.
You are looking for a micro size camoed
container. Please
rehide as found. Once
the park is up and running for the summer seasons, there may be a
fee to enter. At the
time of placement there was no one in the booth. The park closes at 10
pm.
The FTF
prize is a gold dollar
