On Tuesday the Grand River Expedition passed the half-way point on the way from the headwaters of the Grand to the mouth at Grand Haven. Arriving in Lyons on Tuesday the Expedition had completed 130 of the 226 river miles they will travel to Chinook Pier. The number of participants is near 300 at this point, with 60 participants completing the entire Expedition. People are encouraged to join any day of the expedition as a day-paddler by showing up at 6:30 at the overnight camping location.

Quotes you can use from me: Participants really enjoy meeting people along the way to bring attention to the Grand River as a great resource for Michigan. River communities have provided camping, shuttling, showers, and meals along with entertainment and hospitality. People who live along the river greet us, and some have even put up signs on the riverbank to encourage the participants, which helps us get through long days on the water.
