Reed City is a small city located in the southwest corner of Osceola County in the west central portion of Michigan's lower peninsula. The city is within an hours drive from Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Ludington and Midland. Two Rails-To-Trails intersect in the City making it the center of the premier trails system in the state. Reed City is a crossroads community because it was originally at the intersection of two railroad systems that bisected the state. It is now at the crossroads of two major US Highways – 131 and 10 – that bisect the state. This provides easy access to other parts of the state. Click Here for a detailed map of Reed City.
