It’s good for kids and families but not a lot of shows, also there was a part of show about religion , I think it’ss 4th of July they did not have to include a car show a freedom for a particular religion
Great place to hang out with friends and family.
Reeds Lake in East Grand Rapids is such a relaxing place! You would really enjoy it, people are so friendly and nice 👍
My wife and I were paddle boarding past the yacht club on Sunday morning when two staff members decided to recklessly move a couple boats to the other side of their marina. First a pontoon boat, then a small speed boat, flew just outside the docks, sending up two-foot wake and passing less than fifty feet from us. Fortunately I was on the inside, as the wake swamped over my board and sent me into the water while my pregnant wife was able to stay afloat in the lee of my board. It was ironic that the speed boat had RESCUE emblazoned along its side, as the two drivers in staff t-shirts show no awareness or concern for anyone else on the water. The club management needs to hire more experienced staff who don't endanger others just to save thirty seconds while moving a boat.
