Middle Grand River Water Trail Navigation Tool The Middle Grand River Water Trail is an officially designated MDNR water trail beginning in Eaton Rapids, MI and ending in Lyons, MI. The following map has been created to help users find access points and amenities, locate river hazards, and share information about Middle Grand communities. View the interactive Google Map here. No map can alert you to every hazard or anticipate the limitations of the trail user. Therefore, the descriptions of the trail on this website are not representations that a particular excursion or place will be safe for your party. When you follow the trail, you assume responsibility for your own safety. Pay attention to traffic, water, road, and trail conditions, weather, terrain, the capabilities of your party, and other factors. Keeping informed on the current conditions and exercising common sense are the keys to a safe, enjoyable outing. Safe paddling requires preparation, proper equipment, and experience. Canoeing and kayaking can be dangerous.

Under "TOOLS" are GIS layers depicting TIP Projects (2009-2013) as well as 2035 modeled traffic trend deficiencies for AM and PM rush hours.
