Great park. Tons of trail. Good for walkers, runners, bikers, and roller blazers. Everyone shares nicely. They have poop stations for dog waste and extra bags. Plenty of pavilions and grills and picnic tables. Free access and plenty of parking. They have a beach and splash pad you can pay to use, as well as boat rentals. We did 30 mins on a peddle boat for $6. Pretty affordable. Nice staff.

Millennium Park is Grand Rapid's Central Park. Located on the west side of the city, it's the largest park full of trails, meadows, playgrounds and more. I took my four-year-old daughter here for their beach and splash park. Here's our experience: 1) Space: The park itself is huge with public playgrounds outside of the beach area. Once inside the beach area, there are more playgrounds for those who paid the entrance fee. ($4 for adults and $2 for kids.) The beach is along a little lake and long with plenty of space to sit. It's quite shallow making it perfect for smaller kids. Nearby is a splash pad. (It's a little run down, but still fun.) There's also an area to change, restrooms and a snack bar with overpriced food. 2) Price: For an entire day of fun, it's pretty cheap. $4 for adults and $2 for kids over two-years-old for day passes. The price is cheaper if you get longer than a day pass. 3) Service: The staff are friendly and there are plenty of security guards who intend to keep people safe. We went when a storm was rolling in. The park rules state that the splash area and beach close for 30 minutes after the last thunderstorm. Keep that in mind if you go when storms are near. Overall, Millennium Park was an excellent activity with kids. My daughter loved it and we will definitely go back!

Great place! Looks like a lot of families spend time here. Mildly annoyed about coming out here to paddle board Howevwr the paddle boards are out of commission due to a recent DNR regulation. I wish the website would've been updated but it is what it is and I had a nice time on a paddleboat

Beach area

What a great park to hike, jog, bike, picnic and swim. We took the dogs and did a couple loops and it was amazing. The lakes are beautiful and lots of picnic tables and grills to spend your weekend with friends and family. They also have a beach area where you can rent kayaks and paddle boats. The kids area has a splash pad and a playground. The entire park has many restrooms that are well maintained for park standards. This is a big difference compared to Las Vegas parka which are small and not well maintained.

Dear Millennium Park, We you. Millennium Park is one of the most popular parks in the Greater GR area!! ‼ If you haven't been before - add this to your bucket list. It's a beautiful place for a day trip, especially in the warmer months! Being about 10 minutes from downtown GR, this massive park has downright breathtaking views, gorgeous scenery along bodies of water, endless paved trails and bike trails, and it truly comes alive when the warmer weather hits. In the summertime you can enjoy a huge splash pad, swimming at the beach, volleyball, the playground, kayaks, paddle boards, and plenty of pavilions. (Some activities have a very reasonable rent price!) It's like a little taste of vacation right in GR!

Pavilion
Tony V.

Attended an event at the Meadows at Millennium park (which is a different area than the one with the beach) . This pavilion is huge. I would say it can easily seat 200 people comfortably. There is plenty of parking spaces around the venue to accommodate. Around the pavilion has nice walking trails that takes you over the water and alongside it leading to great pictures. Only drawback we experienced was the cleanup from the previous day's event was still ongoing throughout the morning. Our group eventually had to help the moving team to speed it up. We then had to reach out to the park crew again to clean up the residue from food and drinks spilled onto the venue. I would definitely consider renting out this venue myself as the only things that gave this event trouble were caused by the people before us. No complaints towards the park or crew.

A beautiful little sandy beach

It's a beautiful park in Grand Rapids that has multiple options for bike or walk trails. There are a lot of water bodies, trees all around and full of birds chirping around, so I personally keep my earphones at bay while taking a walk around this place. There are multiple options for trails of varied lengths for choosing and also many nooks and corners preferred by fishing enthusiasts. And did I mention the nice little sandy beach?

This is seriously one of the best parks in the state, but especially in the region. Not only is a massive, but I also feel secluded and small as your branch off into various trails in sections of the enormous park. It will probably take all day to bike ride it let alone try to walk it. It's cool that there's a beach part where you can rent kayaks another non-motorized watercraft. This park is super safe as well as there's people walking around, but it's also not crowded to the point where you're bumping elbows are constantly being passed by someone or rollerbladers.

This was such a beautiful place to kayak. There was practically no one there so it was very quiet and peaceful. I would come back here

Beautiful beach and park to enjoy with your family. We drove here from Kalamazoo...we were looking for a different place to enjoy the summer sun and this park came in as a highly recommended by visitors. They were right! The sand is clean, they have a couple of volley ball nets where you can play with family and friends; they have tables close to the entrance where you can sit and relax, eat the food from the concessions or you own. Also if you don't want to be on the sand, you can sit in the grass under the shade of a tree...there's plenty of space. There is a fee to enter the park, alcoholic drinks or grills are not allowed. We loved it!

This is a large and beautiful park in Kent County southwest of Grand Rapids. It is about 1500 acres of prairie, ponds, forest and wetlands with an abundance of trails and pathways. There are plenty of large areas for group picnics. We were there recently when there was a plethora of wildflowers. It's a fairly new development so will mature beautifully over time. It's ideal for biking since there are so many pathways including bridges over ponds. It is free except for those wanting to use the beautiful beach, playground areas or launch a boat. It is quite reasonable, tho and great for families and groups.

Kayak rentals!

For how nice this park is, it's surprising just how inexpensive it is to do anything there. You can rent kayaks by the hour for less than $15 and swimming is something like $5. There is plenty of parking and finding a water fountain or bathroom doesn't require a hike.

Guys Ultimate Kayak Service - Finishing the upper float.

Guys Ultimate Kayak Service

(9 reviews)

Hiya folks! If you're reading this review I can make a few guesses about you that may or may not be…read moreaccurate: 1. You are looking for a place to rent a kayak. 2. You don't own your own kayak. 3. You're probably not familiar with the waterways in and around Western Michigan. 4. You're reading reviews looking for something that really speaks to you. Friend, you've found the right review for YOU! My wife, 17-year-old son and I traveled up to Grand Haven on a whim this week, never having been here before but with the specific intent of trying out kayaking. Now, I have Kayaked before...I was about 12...so 36 years ago. My city-raised son and land-locked wife had never done such a thing in their lives. So, we started looking. After reading the reviews of a few places, I was attracted to Guys for a couple of reasons: 1. I'm a sucker for a story about a guy retiring from a life and retail and opening a kayak business on the rivers he loves. 2. Another review mentioned he had a kayak that fit a large person (I am one such person). 3. He specifically mentioned river kayaking...which is perfect for a newbie who isn't experienced keeping themselves moving. After all, if you get tired of paddling, you can just let the river take you where it will. Guy runs the business out of his house, but you'll never go in...you don't need to. We met in the yard, I PayPal'd him our fee (only $25 each) and we got back in our van to follow him to the landing spot...where we left our vehicle, climbed in his van, and he took us to the launch up river. Guy knows this town, but he really knows these rivers. We got a full briefing on what to expect, how to use the equipment, how long it should take --"the river's running about 4.5mph right now...it was 6mph last week...so it'll be a longer trip unless you really paddle". He then made sure we had a dry-box for a phone and wallet (just in case) and offered my son a ball cap since he forgot his and made sure my bald head had sunscreen, which I had forgotten. Then he launched us and away we went. The trip downstream was about 2 hours, and 15 minutes in my tech-geek son-sans-cell-phone says "We really need to do this more often" the trip was already worth it. The rest of the trip downstream was idylic and so much fun. When we got to the end (Guy put out a sign for us to land), Guy himself was there and taking photos for us. He helped us out of the boats (which I needed after two hours) and we got in our van and left. Guy has made this trip worthwhile on his own with his service and hospitality, and my family had a fantastic time. I can not recommend him and his business enough! Thank's Guy!!!

Nestled in the back roads of Montague is this hidden gem and it is full of beautiful scenery along the river. White River is clean and typically has a slower flow to it. Happy Mohawk has the transportation covered for when you first get on the River and when you get off the river depending on where you are getting on and off at. It is very helpful and makes the experience worth free. I definitely recommend Happy Mohawk. Bring sunscreen and wear a hat! It can get super busy on the weekends during peak summer months so plan ahead!

First of all, it would be great if this business changed its name to something more culturally…read moresensitive. They offer a great service and we totally appreciate that. Having a non-racist name would be an excellent change. Spending a summer day floating down the White River has become an annual tradition for a small group of friends and this business makes it easy. The phones and front desk is managed by a bunch of teenagers who sometimes provide spotty service, but we've learned to keep our expectations low in that regard. This Canoe Livery is perfect on the essentials, though. We like the variety of tube styles (some have a bottom for those chilly early summer days, some have a cup holder, some are kid sized). The way the process works is you pay a fee to rent your tube, then they will bus you to a drop off point. You float down the river for 2-3 hours, enjoying sunshine, cool water and forest views. You will then reach a landing (which is also the place you departed from). It's obvious and impossible to miss. We recommend a cooler for your favorite beverages and a dry bag to keep your important items safe. The front desk will hold your keys while you float, which isn't a bad idea. We've seen people lose their keys on the river before. In these times when many of us are looking for more outdoor activities, a river float is one of our favorites. This canoe livery does a great job of making the process smooth and simple!

This is a little gem of a campground that's pleasantly filled with comforts and modern amenities. The campground itself is very small, but it's quiet, & has a steady body of water. I will be staying here again. I spent the weekend sitting in my hammock and enjoying hearing the water. 5/6 of the cabins face the water just as an fyi, so it's like a private paradise. The town of SoHa is really fun too and a great place to wine, dine, & explore. The cabins are basic and rustic with one plug in to charge your electronics. There is one light in there but it does get dark at night. Bring a nightlight. The queen bunk beds are great and comfortable. I would say more like 2-3 people could comfortably sleep in a cabin due to space and the cabins get hot at night! There's showers, there's toilets, there's cabins- oh my! The showers run on a unique token system. 1 token=$1=3 minutes of hot, private, shower. Tokens are purchased on site. the showers are game changers because they're open 24 hours with cameras outside so the owners monitor who goes in/out and your safety. As a queer person, I felt comfortable & safe at this campground.
