Foto Friday – Grand River Grandeur
The Grand River is the longest river in Michigan, running from Hillsdale
near the Indiana border, up to Lansing, and then turning west towards Grand
Rapids and eventually emptying into Lake Michigan. Its watershed drains an
area of 5,572 miles including 18 counties and 158 townships.
The native people who lived here called the river O-wash-ta-nong, meaning
“Far-away-water” because of its length, 260 miles.
With fall fast approaching, scenes such as the one above are common here
in West Michigan. This photo was taken on the Knapp Street bridge in Ada
township.
