Luton Park, Cannon Township: Guide to West Michigan

The address to the south parking lot is: 5871 Kies St NE, Rockford, MI 49341

According to Google Maps, this park is located mostly in Cannon Township, with just the North entrance part being in Courtland Township.  However, on this trip, we didn't actually make it to the North entrance parking lot, so I'm just going to count this trip as only Cannon Township.
