Grand River

The Ledges Trail runs from Fitzgerald Park on the edge of Grand Ledge to Second Island in the center of town. This view's from the Fitzgerald Park end; that's the very end of Seventh Island in the foreground.

There are Seven Islands in Grand Ledge. Or at least there used to be; I have the impression that Second and Third have run together, probably by design. (Those buildings are long gone.) Only Second and Seventh Islands have any substance, now, though this map suggests that all were larger at one time.

Across the river are slight hints about the ledges which give the town, and the trail, their names.
