 The Grand River is the longest river in the U.S. state of Michigan. It runs 260 miles through the cities of Jackson, Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Grand Haven before reaching Lake Michigan.
Its watershed drains an area of 5,572 square miles. It has several dams along its length but is a trout and salmon stream for much of its length.
Much of the basin is flat and it contains many swamps and lakes; although, there is an elevation difference of 700 feet between the source and mouth of the river.
Tributaries are the Red Cedar River, Looking Glass River, Maple River, Flat River, Thornapple River, and the Rogue River.
A 500 passenger dinner cruise ship modeled after a riverboat operates on the river in Lansing.
