Grand River Revitalization Project
The Grand River Revitalization Project is an initiative headed by Grand Rapids Whitewater (GRWW) and the City of Grand Rapids. The goal is to partner with users and managers in the region to create a safer, more exciting river experience for everyone. The project is currently in redesigning the project to remove dangerous low-head dams to create a more natural river flow by installing boulders and improving habitat for fish and other aquatic species.
The project would restore the river as close to its natural state as possible while still providing flood protection. Additionally, these changes would provide environmental, social and cultural, and economic benefits to the City of Grand Rapids.
