The Middle Grand River Water Trail
Project Partners
The Middle Grand River Water Trail (MGRWT) is an 87-mile
inland paddling trail that connects tourists and residents alike to the beauty
and history of Michigan’s longest river. With 33 well-established launch
sites, signage, and navigational tools, the MGRWT is accessible to both
beginners and skilled paddlers. Leisurely paddle to parks and restaurants on
the river’s slow moving backwaters through downtown Lansing, or experience some
of the state’s best smallmouth bass fishing in the remote, boulder-strewn runs further downstream. There’s a trip for everyone on the Middle
Grand; use this 360° virtual tour to help plan yours!
