Thornapple River
From the headwaters in Eaton and Ionia Counties, the Thornapple
River winds its way into Barry County where it accepts the majority
of its tributaries. The Thornapple then enters into Kent County where
it eventually empties into the Grand River at Ada. The Thornapple
Watershed offers the people of southwestern Michigan an array of
scenic, recreational, sporting, and farming opportunities. An incredible
amount of bio-diversity exists within the Thornapple and its tributaries
with both cold- and warm-water fisheries.
Approximately 100 miles long the Thornapple Watershed drains an
876 sq. mi. area, contains 742 miles of streams, and 227 lakes totaling
7,844 acres of water.
The Thornapple River Watershed covers 5 counties, 37 townships, and
10 municipalities.
