Eaton County

Eaton County borders Lansing's west side. Commercial and residential expansion in the Delta Township has made Eaton County a flourishing part of Lansing Metropolitan area.

In spite of constant growth, Eaton County has retained much of its agricultural tradition, still one of the leaders in dry bean and wheat production in the state. It has also kept its Early American, New-England-like atmosphere, as exemplified by the village of  Vermontville, which celebrates its annual Maple Syrup Festival the last weekend in April.
 
Tourism also plays a significant role, especially at Grand Ledge, which sits high atop sandstone cliff formations along the Grand River, with a view worth the trip. The historic Island Park in Eaton Rapids is another unique attraction, where you can picnic, feed the ducks, or just spend a lazy afternoon fishing along the Grand River.
