The SkyBridge's Lavender Lemonade

Bottoms Up
July 5, 2025

Take it from this heights scaredy-cat: Boyne Mountain’s SkyBridge is a sight to behold. The world’s longest timber-towered suspension bridge is about 1,200 feet long and soars nearly 120 feet above the ground. Once you cross the bridge, you’ll find the Summit Snacks food truck, where you can get a little liquid courage for the walk back with a refreshing Lavender Lemonade ($16). Lavender simple syrup, lemonade, and tonic water are complemented by lavender-infused Petoskey Stone Gin from Gypsy Distillery. Add a lemon slice, then sit back and enjoy the view at one of the mountaintop picnic tables while you sip and nosh on Polish-inspired eats from the food truck. SkyBridge tickets are $20-$25 and include a chairlift ride, the bridge walk, and an optional SkyBridge hiking loop. Learn more at boynemountain.com/skybridge-michigan.
