On Muskegon River
The Muskegon River is a river in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, 216 miles long. It starts at Houghton Lake in Roscommon County and flows generally southwest to Muskegon Lake at the city of Muskegon, and from there to Lake Michigan. Along the way it passes Evart, Big Rapids, Croton and Newaygo. Its watershed drains about 2,350 square miles, and its tributaries include the Little Muskegon, Hersey and Clam rivers. Grand Valley State University's Annis Water Resources Institute gives larger figures: about 219 miles of river and more than 2,700 square miles of watershed, second in Michigan only to the Grand River. Three dams owned by Consumers Energy create reservoirs on the river. They are Rogers Dam south of Big Rapids, and Hardy Dam and Croton Dam in Newaygo County. Croton Dam was built in 1907 and holds back a 1,209-acre pond. Hardy Dam was completed in 1931 and forms a 4,000-acre reservoir. More about Muskegon River.
