The routes are divided into northern, southern, eastern, and western regions, and include notable bridges such as the Fallasburg Covered Bridge, Ada Covered Bridge, Whites Bridge, and Pine Island Drive Bridge.

Managing Director Jerry Byrne and Parks Department Director Ben Swayze emphasize the tour’s convenience and safety, urging motorists to watch for work zones and slow-moving equipment. They recommend checking the Pure Michigan Fall Color Map for peak color timing and submitting photos through the online form.
