The Little Muskegon River, located in Michigan, is approximately 51 miles in length and flows into the Muskegon River. The river has a rich history, with early settlements dating back to the mid-1800s. The hydrology of the river is heavily influenced by several reservoirs and dams, including the Rogers Dam constructed in 1915 and the Croton Dam constructed in 1907, both of which serve as sources of hydroelectric power. The river also supports diverse recreational and agricultural uses, including fishing, kayaking, and irrigation for crop production. However, the river has faced challenges with water quality due to pollution from agriculture and urban runoff. Conservation efforts have been implemented in recent years to protect the river and its ecosystem.
