    Grand Haven Waterfront Trail

    Leashed dogs are welcome. The boardwalk is 1.5 miles long stretch of paved path along the Grand River harbor starting with the shops at Chinook Pier. Along the way restaurants, marinas, charter fishing boats, and parks culminating at the catwalk, pier, and lighthouse. The Boardwalk conveniently intersects with the downtown shops and restaurants. While it’s a great place for a brisk walk, there are plenty of grassy knolls and benches for idlers who prefer people and boat watching. Visit Website

      Great walk

      it is about 3 miles return, from the very beginning. Nice flat surface. easy walk. lots of things for fur babies to see and sniff. it is a popular walk - so it can get busy.

      Interesting Sights And Sounds

      There are plenty of things for a curious dog to check out along the boardwalk. A handful of thoughtful shops put out water bowls for dogs. As you get closer to the lighthouse, pups can enjoy a good sniff while they get splashed by the waves.

      Great place!

      Nights are very busy during the summer. Great place to socialize and meet friendly people/dogs. Also a great place to practice and test training. Can be a high distraction environment with all the smells, people, some other dogs, depending on the time of day. Plenty of benches to relax and grassy areas to play in. There is a splash pad although I am not sure whether it is pet friendly. There are some shops along the boardwalk as well. It's a nice 3 ish mile round trip if you walk the whole thing. Mornings usually have quite a few joggers. It's a very nice, paved, flat boardwalk with grass on one side and the grand river channel on the other.
