Location
Get Directions
Cut by the Kalamazoo River, Plainwell is known as the Island City because entering the city from any direction requires crossing over the Kalamazoo River. Plainwell’s natural beauty lies in stark contrast from its name, with dense trees covering the river as well as the houses. Seven bridges, parks, and walking trails fill Plainwell, offering a bevy of recreational opportunities in town.
Plainwell contains two historic districts, each filled with commercial buildings and homes preserved for over 100 years. Plainwell makes a point of preserving the past while investing in the future, hosting plenty of family-friendly events in town. The Plainwell community bonds over a weekly farmers’ market, regular concerts at the band shell, and various citywide contests. Eclectic shops, restaurants, and cafes populate Plainwell’s quaint downtown area. Kalamazoo is just ten miles south of Plainwell, should you miss the bustle of a larger city.
