The Muskegon River is the second longest in the state of Michigan, flowing over 219 miles from its start at Higgins and Houghton Lakes down to its mouth at Muskegon Lake and eventually into Lake Michigan. The Muskegon River Watershed is one of the largest in Michigan, spanning over 2,700 square miles.

The mission of the Muskegon River Watershed Assembly, a non-profit organization, is to preserve, protect and enhance the natural, historic and cultural resources of the Muskegon River Watershed through educational and scientific initiatives, while supporting positive economic development, agricultural and quality of life initiatives of organizations working in the river watershed.
