About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
The Knapp Street Bridge boat launch provides public access to the Grand River in Ada, Michigan (Kent County). This is a convenient put-in point for paddlers and boaters looking to explore this section of the Grand River in west-central Michigan.
**What to Expect**
The Grand River offers a range of paddling opportunities, making this launch suitable for kayakers and canoeists of varying skill levels. The Knapp Street Bridge area is part of a series of public access sites along the Grand River, including nearby options at Chief Hazy Cloud Park and Grand River Riverfront Park. Before launching, check current water conditions and flow rates, as river conditions can vary seasonally. This location works well as either a starting point for downstream paddling or as part of a multi-access river trip planning along this stretch of the Grand River.
**Planning Your Visit**
Contact Ada Township or check Michigan DNR resources for specific information about parking availability, facility amenities, and any usage fees. This access point is most suitable for small watercraft like kayaks and canoes, though motor boats may also launch here depending on river conditions.
