  • Resumen

  • Grand Rapids is restoring the namesake rapids of the Grand River, reversing decades of human intervention that removed natural rock formations and altered the river’s flow. The city’s River For All project is removing five low-head dams and reshaping riverbanks to improve habitat, water quality, and public access.

    Mike Stahl, an engineer with the City of Grand Rapids, shares how the project will reconnect people with the river by adding new access points, educational spaces, and recreation opportunities for activities like fishing and kayaking. The project also prioritizes habitat restoration, including creating passage for native fish while managing invasive species like sea lamprey.

    With $45 million dedicated to in-river work and another $50 million for river edges, this large-scale transformation is delivering ecological and economic benefits to the region. As the work progresses, Grand Rapids is turning back toward its river, ensuring the Grand lives up to its name once again.
