Great Loop #26 Grand Haven, MI

In Episode #26, we leave Muskegon and head farther south along the east side of Lake Michigan to Grand Haven. We stay several days in different locations and explore the area. We were there for the 60th anniversary of the Singing Fountain.

I live in grand haven glad you enjoyed it. The biggest thing about grand haven is that it is a cost guard city. The biggest festival is the cost guard festival. the fire works at the end of the festival. Has a very great number of boats in the channel.

[@staycool123]

Wow! So cool to see so many people participating in the festivities.😎

You did the right thing going further up the lake since weather was threatening, A good stop that let you restock supplies and the light show was an added plus. One of Michigans bright spots. Enjoy

[@staycool123]

[@rebeccasnyder2120]

Super excited to find this video series. You are in my neck of the woods. Michigan is a great state my favorite cities along the Lake Michigan coast are Ludignton, Manistee, South Haven and Muskegon. Super excited to see the rest of the series.

[@staycool123]

Hi Rebecca, we’re glad to have you along for the journey and welcome aboard! The east side of Lake Michigan has some interesting places to stop. We couldn’t see them all but we enjoyed what we did see. Thanks for watching!😎

Hey Eric, that’s neat you spotted your own boat! Grand Haven was a great spot! We enjoyed our time there. Thanks for watching!😎

[@tmac709]

Grand Haven is a nice spot to stop at. I liked all of the marina's they have.

[@staycool123]

Thanks T Mac! They sure do have a lot of marinas in Grand Haven. It’s a very boater friendly place! 😎

Thank you for all your videos they’re awesome are you aware of a bridge on the Cal Sag river when leaving Chicago is only 19’ clearance have a great day

[@staycool123]

Thanks for your kind comment John and glad you’re enjoying the journey! Yes we are aware that the lowest fixed span bridge (that cannot open) on the entire Great Loop is in Lemont IL at mile 300.6 on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. It's vertical clearance is 19.6 feet above the normal water level. You will see us travel this part of the loop in an upcoming video and we lowered our radar. 😎

So happy that hideous cross is gone from Dewey Hill. Congrats, Grand Haven.

[@staycool123]

Grand Haven is a fantastic stop along the loop and very boater friendly. Thanks for watching Mitch!😎

[@GoGreen1977]

You are cruising on the Grand River. Not the Grand Haven River. There is no such thing. And the biggest festival in GH is the Coast Guard Festival in July, I think.

[@staycool123]

There seem to be a lot of festivals in that area. And the coast guard is right there in Grand River so makes sense there is a Coast Guard Festival! Thanks for your comment GoGreen1977😎
