I serve on the Kingsley Planning Commission and loved this description of our little community. I had to look up what a moraine was.
Setting: Paradise Township is located in the southern part of Grand Traverse County and is
dominated by the Port Huron glacial moraine. The Township is, therefore broken up into
numerous rolling hills, and drains primarily to the north into the Boardman River, but also to
the south into the Manistee River. There are numerous wooded slopes, level to gently sloping
areas devoted to farm crops and livestock, and a network of streams and wetlands. The
Township is highly typical of glacially created rural environments in northern Michigan.
