The annual Grand Lady Riverboat excursions are scheduled for 1:30 and 4:00 pm on Tuesday, August 9!

Watch eagles, herons, and other wildlife from the shaded comfort of the upper deck or lower main cabin of the Grand Lady. The boat’s main cabin is handicap accessible. We suggest you bring jackets, a camera, and binoculars (for close views of birds, turtles, and more). Enjoy interesting speakers, great scenery and wildlife, live music, and the fun of a paddle wheeler experience.
Reservation forms are available online: friendsofocp.org

• Print, complete, and return the form (with payment)
• Cost is $15 per person
• Provide a name and email address for your group confirmation

Trips depart and return to the boat launch at Grand River Park. Each round-trip excursion will take approximately an hour and a half. Excursions will be held rain or shine (no refunds). If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your reservation to a friend; notify Friends of any changes.

Park near the boat launch at Grand River Park (9473 28th Ave, Jenison). You will board the Grand Lady where 28th Avenue ends at the river. 

Funds raised from these trips support Friends of Ottawa County Parks’ projects, including a Grand Lady Riverboat field trip for students! Friends is dedicated to connecting people with nature, recreation, and community by partnering with Ottawa County Parks.
