Grass River (Michigan)

The Grass River is a short (about two and a half mile-long) river in Antrim County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is part of a watershed that begins in northern Antrim County with Intermediate Lake, which is connected by the Intermediate River with Lake Bellaire. The Grass River flows from Lake Bellaire into Clam Lake, which in turn drains into Torch Lake via the short Clam River. Torch Lake itself is drained by the Torch River, which flows into Lake Skegemog, which opens into Elk Lake. Elk Lake flows into the east arm of Grand Traverse Bay at Elk Rapids.

The Grass River Natural Area is a park of over 1,160 acres (4.7 km²) of wetlands and wildlife habitat purchased since 1969 by the non-profit group "Grass River Natural Area, Inc." There are 3.5 miles (6 km) of boardwalk trails, bridges, and observation platforms that provide easy access to river, stream, lake and wetlands.
