The Rabbit River is a 62.1-mile-long (99.9 km)[1] tributary of the Kalamazoo River within Allegan County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The river's watershed covers 187,200 acres (758 km2) of land and drains most of north-central and northeast Allegan County as well as small portions of Barry, Kent and Ottawa counties.
The Little Rabbit River is an 11.0-mile-long (17.7 km)[1] tributary of the Rabbit River, with a 30,850-acre (124.8 km2) watershed that drains sections of four townships in Allegan and Kent counties: Byron Township in Kent County, and Leighton, Dorr and Salem townships in Allegan County. The upper reaches consist of two small branches: the Red Run Drain, which rises in the extreme western edge of Leighton Township just north of Moline and the Dorr & Byron Drain, which rises in the southern portion of Byron Township. The branches converge west of Dorr and then empty into the Rabbit River in southwest Salem Township.
