The ability to take your bow rider or pontoon boat for a leisurely spin up the Grand River from Lake Michigan to downtown Grand Rapids may become a reality.
A recently released study by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Department of Technology, Management and Budget gives an indication of what dredging more than 20 miles of the river from Allendale to Grand Rapids would involve.
Currently, powerboating is limited to an area west of the Bass Lake Inlet near Allendale. Dredging would open up another 22.5 miles of river to powerboats all the way to downtown Grand Rapids.
