 Rogue River at the 12-Mile Conservation property (photo from Kent County Parks and Recreation) |
from an M-Live news article
The 12-Mile Conservation Area at 4400 12 Mile Road NE, Rockford, Michigan, is located between the White Pine Trail and the Rogue River. Kent County is hoping to develop a portion of the 22 acres with an accessible kayak launch and a boardwalk, parking lot, and four-season restroom.
There is approximately a half-mile of river frontage on the property, and it is a popular access site for the trail and the river, but currently the only amenity is a gravel parking lot.
Kent County Board of Commissioners discussed, on March 26, approval of submission of MDNR grant applications. The county is applying to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund for $400,000 of the approximately one million needed. If approved, the state funds would be appropriated in 2027 and park construction would begin in 2028.
