Great bike trails, lakes and a beach with children’s play equipment make this one of Grand Rapid’s hidden gems! Enjoy the quiet sounds of nature or find a reading spot across from a lake or fish from well stocked streams.

We love the Big Lake! Lake Michigan is a great place to relax and watch boats and people! We access the Lake through Grand Haven, Holland State Park or Tunnel Park. At Grand Haven, we will often grab a Hudsonville ice cream cone and head down the pier to see the lighthouses.
