Striking blue bridge with a great view.

The stunning Rogue River runs through Kent and Newaygo counties, along with the Rogue River State Game Area. It is 48 miles (77 km) long, and here in Rockford, it is held back by the Rockford Dam. It is a scenic river that is great for cyclists as it is intersected by the White Pine Trail, which is a rail-to-trail shared-use path.

The Rockford Dam is a good rest stop with picnic tables, restrooms, and nearby food options. It’s right on the trail and easy to access.

Waterfront Park is a small urban park along Reeds Lake. It has trails with boardwalks, fishing decks, and picnic areas.

Reeds Lake is a freshwater lake covering 265 acres, with a maximum depth of 52 feet. By paying a visit to the lake, you are likely to spot some combination of waterfowl, frogs, and fish. Use of watercraft including motorboats, paddle boards, jet skis, and kayaks is welcome here. The Reeds Lake Loop is family-friendly, dog-friendly, and handicap-accessible.

Riverside Park is a beautiful green park on the outskirts of Grand Rapids. As the name suggests, the park is on the banks of the Grand River. There is a paved trail that cuts through the park and several other smaller, unpaved trails.

Nice view of Grand Rapids from Riverside Park Drive. The path is popular with cyclists, so if you want to take a break from your walk to enjoy the view, make sure you are aware of the other trail users.

North Park Street crosses a lovely section of the Grand River here. The sides of the bridge have little pockets where you can pull your bike out of the way for a better view.
