With a rich history rooted in the lumbering industry of the mid-1800s, Jenison is renowned for having some of the best, most unique natural resources in the state. Grand River wraps comfortably around Jenison’s northern border and offers residents the chance to fish, kayak, hike, and enjoy the local wildlife. Grand Ravines, a 202-acre Jenison park known for its incredible dog park and stunning riverside ravines, allows visitors to enjoy interesting plant varieties, including rare forest ferns, paw-paw trees, and tulip trees. Grand River Park offers picnic opportunities, a family-friendly sensory trail, scenic platforms, fishing docks, a playground, and three miles of trails for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Jenison’s Hager Park provides multiple barrier-free reservation facilities, an age of discovery playground that overlooks a terrain map of the United States, and horseshoe pits for summertime fun.
History buffs will enjoy taking a historical logging town and riverboat landing tour on Jenison’s riverboat, The Grand Lady at Steamboat Park. Is rain or West Michigan winter weather interrupting your outdoor plans? Take a tour or enjoy a holiday open house at the Tiffany House, home to the Jenison Museum. The Jenison Center for the Arts provides year-round entertainment with shows, concerts, and plays put on by local public school students and community members.
