_{The listed co-ords are at Pretty Lake State Forest Campground. You will follow a trail and see many lakes on a short hike.}

We found this little gem of a campground on a fall campout. We ended up being the only campers so all swimming was on a private beach (yes, even in October, these shallow lakes are warm enough to get in!) We went exploring and found some walk-in campsites and three other lakes. There are at least three more lakes that we didn't get to an this trail, so feel free to explore...

In 1886, a one-lane bridge was built over the Kalamazoo River to connect limited highway M-89 to the downtown area. The bridge fell into disrepair and was going to be removed until a group of activists raised the money to restore the bridge in 1983. Now a highlight of Allegan, the one-lane bridge is used in the city logo and is considered an important part of the city.

In 1914, Allegan entered the automobile race car industry as the manufacturing site of Howard E. Blood and Louis Chevrolet's chain-drive Cornelian automobile. The venture was short-lived, and less than 100 Cornelians were produced.

The largest employer is the Perrigo, the largest maker of private label over-the-counter pharmaceuticals in the world. Perrigo was founded in Allegan in 1887. Companies previously located in Allegan include Haworth, a seat manufacturer, and Rockwell.

The city is served by Padgham Field, a small general aviation airport.
