Take Out

This is a take-out access point on the Grand River in Grand Rapids, Michigan, designed primarily for whitewater paddlers completing river trips. The location serves as an exit point for kayakers and canoeists who have paddled downstream sections of the Grand River. Being a take-out site, it is oriented toward allowing paddlers to safely exit the water and remove their boats from the river. The Grand River in this area flows through an urban setting in Kent County, making this access point convenient for local paddlers.

Paddlers using this take-out should be aware of the river conditions typical to this section of the Grand. The site's designation as a whitewater take-out suggests that upstream sections may contain moving water or current that paddlers need to manage. Upon arrival, boaters should have a plan for vehicle shuttle logistics since this is a take-out location rather than a launch point. Local knowledge of the specific current conditions, water levels, and any obstacles in the approach to this site is recommended before paddling.
