Grand Ledge, Michigan, is one of the most popular places in the country for rock climbers, who flock here to scale the sandstone routes located high above the Grand River.
Grand Ledge has a population of 7,786 (2010 census), and it's safe to say that a large percentage of these locals may well be rock climbers. This town is a mecca for folks who love to scale the area's magnificent sandstone and quartzite rock ledges, many of which rise to more than 60 feet. Back in the 1870s, Grand Ledge was reinvented as a resort town, where entrepreneurs peddled the healthful waters from the local mineral springs. In 1891, these savvy developers even built an amusement park here, complete with animals, a merry-go-round and Michigan's first roller coaster. All of this may be gone now, but what remains is a wonderfully scenic town with a friendly, unhurried atmosphere; beautiful nature centers; picturesque historic buildings and loads of charm and personality -- even without the roller coaster.
