East of Grand Rapids and in the middle of Kent County, Cascade is distinguished by a landscape of greenery divided by the meandering Thornapple River and its close proximity to important conveniences such as the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. Abundant recreational activities include more than 17 miles of pathway ideal for bicycling, walking or roller blading and several parks, including the Museum Garden Park, which was built around the original Cascade Town Hall. Several golf courses and shopping centers are modern additions to an area also dotted with historical landmarks, as well, including the Thornapple River Drive Bridge. |
