This wonderful park is best known as the home of the “Ledges”—ancient sedimentary rock outcroppings lining the shores of the Grand River. Facilities include six picnic sites, three miles of trails, volleyball, basketball, playground. Kayak launch for privately owned boats. It’s just a 40-minute drive for those used to hiking Grand Rapids.
Grand Ravines Park features 168 acres with many trails, bridges, big hills, woods, and wide trails. It’s a scenic park – bring your camera! Bonus: there’s an enclosed dog park area, too!
Flat River runs through this sprawling park. It’s perfect for a family gathering or a simple picnic lunch. Many families take family photos here, especially near the covered bridge. The hike (part of the North Country National Scenic Trail) begins just behind the play structure.
