 The Rogue River is a major tributary of the Grand River. It drains an area of approximately 234 square miles in Newaygo and Kent counties. Its headwaters are a series of ditches that drain the old Rice Lake bed in southern Newaygo County. In this area the stream has been dredged and straightened for drainage purposes leaving limited fish habitat.
The upper portions of the river are difficult to fish or canoe because of streamside brush and numerous fallen trees. Downstream from 13 Mile Road wading and floating conditions are excellent. The river width varies from 15 to 20 feet in the upper protions to approximately 80 feet in the lower reaches. Stream depths range from 1 to 4 feet with deeper holes in spots. Map Rogue River
