from a news article by Fox 17
A multi-community project is underway to designate the Thornapple River in Barry County as a water trail. This would lead to development of maps and a focused approach to supporting paddling activities.
The designation would make the river more user-friendly for families and visitors who don't live directly on the water system. It could help coordinate sharing of information such as water quality between communities along the waterway.
No major changes to existing facilities are planned, but there would be better information available to the public. This could include better signage at existing access points.
The communities are currently working on a memorandum of understanding. Once this is done, grants might be applied for. Maps of the river resources would be of great help to people trying to locate access, camping, parks, and facilities such as restrooms.
Cascade and Ada are two of the towns along the stretch of river being discussed.
