Grand Ledge got its name from the sandstone ledges that tower like sentinels along the banks of the Grand River as it winds along through the city. The ledges are composed of Eaton Sandstone deposited 250 million years ago. Mostly of quartz grains cemented to iron oxide, they are one of the most geologically significant areas in lower Michigan. The "Ledges" is a favorite with climbers who can be seen scaling the vertical walls throughout the summer.

Grand Ledge is host to six wonderful festivals every year, including Yankee Doodle Days, The Island Art Fair, Victorian Days, St Patrick's Day, Memorial Day, and every autumn The Color Cruise & Island Festival.
