Grand River, Riverside Park (+43.000, -85.672)
A good place to start the 43rd parallel journey is close to home, at the Grand River. This is the largest river in Michigan, and much of its lower watershed is close to the 43rd parallel. Riverside Park (a.k.a. Comstock Riverside Park) is obviously by the side of the river, upstream from downtown Grand Rapids. It is a popular destination for North Enders. More will follow about the park later. Suffice it to say that the Canada Goose population also enjoys Riverside.
