The Lower Grand Organization of Watersheds (LGROW) strives to improve the Grand River, in terms of water quality, community ownership, environmental stewardship, outreach and education, and so much more. LGROW.org is intended to be an educational tool as well as a central hub for watershed information and resources within the Michigan Lower Grand River Watershed and the Great Lakes Watershed. LGROW hosts the find my watershed tool, stormwater pollution solutions, watershed management plan, and more.
The Lower Grand River Watershed covers the lower portion of the Grand River that drains into Lake Michigan from Ionia County. There are many subwatersheds within the Lower Grand River Watershed. You can find your watershed using the Find My Watershed tool. The Grand River is the longest river in Michigan, spanning 252 miles, and was named O-wash-ta-nong, meaning Far-Away-Water, by Native Americans who lived there prior to settlement.
A “watershed” is an area of land, defined by hills and ridges that drain to a common body of water. Groundwater and surface water are connected within a watershed, and both supply our drinking water, agricultural irrigation, and manufacturing processes. The Lower Grand River watershed offers opportunities for recreation, like fishing and paddling, and provides vital habitat to plants and animals.
