Grand Haven is nestled in wooded dunes and surrounded by the waters of Lake Michigan, Spring Lake and the Grand River.  In Grand Haven?s early years the lumber industry took advantage of the towering white pines that grew for miles around, providing lumber for Chicago, Milwaukee, and other port cities. During this period the mineral water spas in Spring Lake, Fruitport and Grand Haven spawned the area tourist industry that is still alive today.  This small upper-class harbor town is rich in attractions including restaurants, shopping in historic downtown, marinas, public and private beaches, fishing, golfing, and a musical fountain for your evening enjoyment.  The annual Coast Guard Festival is filled with 10 days of fun, celebration, and tradition as they honor the men and women of the United States Coast Guard, some of whom are stationed at the Grand Haven post.
