Welcome to Grand Haven

The town of Grand Haven has a rich history that spans over 300 years. With a perfect blend of the old and the new, this town has been attracting travelers to its shores for centuries! Visitors can engage in activities that have been enjoyed for over a hundred years or simply savor the modern dining and shopping experiences.

Take a stroll along the mile-and-a-half-long boardwalk that leads from Downtown Grand Haven to Lake Michigan, where you'll find lighthouses that have been guiding ships for hundreds of years. Or hop on The Lakeshore Trolley to see Grand Haven's landmarks! You can even take a scenic train ride on the antique Coopersville and Marne Railway. See glimpses of the beautiful Michigan countryside, family farms, and historic bridges.

Another captivating attraction is the Grand Haven Musical Fountain. Built in 1962, it was the first of its kind before the fountains at the Bellagio Resort opened in Las Vegas in 1998. This 25-minute synchronized water and light show, with music from all walks of life, dazzles visitors every weekend from Labor Day to Memorial Day!

While the city comes alive during the summer months, autumn, winter, and spring are equally entertaining. In the fall, you can enjoy the changing Michigan foliage with a bike ride through tunnels of trees. Pumpkin patches, hayrides, and apple picking are all right at your fingertips. When the crisp winter air arrives, you can head to nearby trails for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing or take the kids sledding at Mulligan's Hollow. Spring is an exciting time as buds bloom and the city comes alive again. It's a great opportunity to hit the beach with a sweater and fly a kite, enjoying the calm before the influx of summer vacationers.

Whether you're a lover of history or prefer contemporary attractions, Grand Haven has got it covered!
