Getting to Grand Rapids:

Traveling by boat is not recommended. Those rapids will kill ya.

Instead, fly to Grand Rapids’ Gerald R. Ford International Airport: https://www.grr.org/

Six airlines service the airport: Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United. So wherever you are, you can get there.
