Gallup Bridge Closure – Access and Parking
There are four parking areas: one at the main entrance off Fuller Road, two past that lot within the park along the park drive (currently inaccessible due to bridge construction), and one further southeast on Geddes Road. Parking gets tight on beautiful summer days due to livery visitors and shelter rentals/ events at Gallup. Be sure to plan ahead and prepare to walk or allow time to reach your final destination or meeting place! There is overflow parking located across the street at Huron High School. If you want to add a 15 minute scenic walk to your Gallup visit, consider parking at Furstenberg Nature Area, 2626 Fuller Rd, where you can park and walk via boardwalk to Gallup while enjoying the oak-hickory forest and savanna.
While the old vehicle bridge has been demolished, Gallup Park is still open to vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicle access and limited parking is available off the main park entrance at Fuller Road, as well as the parking lot off of Geddes Road near the boat launch. Pedestrian access is available from Geddes Avenue at Devonshire Park, as well as the along the Border to Border trail from the east near the Dixboro dam and from the West from Mitchell Field. The Border to Border Trail is open and there is a short detour around the construction site for the new bridge. Construction of the new bridge is underway.
