Camoflaged ammo can hidden in an undeveloped park (open space) just outside Holland. We had a bit of trouble getting good coordinates because of tree cover. We were only getting around 30 ft for accuracy so the coordinates may be a bit off. If you get better ones, let us know. Parking is available at N42* 47.038 W086* 02.269.
In 1999, Ottawa County Parks agreed to provide a $83,000 local match toward a FEMA (Federal Emergency management Agency) Hazard Mitigation Grant to purchase and remove flood prone structures in the floodplain of the Macatawa River. FEMA provided $250,000 in grant funds toward the purchase and removal of structures in the floodplain. As part of the FEMA grant, Ottawa County purchased two houses in Holland Township on Adams Street just west of 104th Avenue. Both houses were removed in 2002.
The scenic 10 acre site where these houses were located, with its mature trees and approximately 1,200 feet of river frontage, will provide a key public access point on the river with future opportunities for fishing, canoe and kayak launching and picnicking. The site is also expected to be an important staging area for a future greenway trail which the Macatawa Greenway Partnership is actively working to establish along the river corridor.
