Reynolds Township is one of twenty townships in Montcalm County, one of four adjoining townships in the Montcalm Panhandle, and geographically is comprised of 36 sections, six miles by six miles (36 square miles). The Village of Howard City, 2.4 square miles, is located in the southeast section of the Township. Situated between Grand Rapids to the South and Big Rapids to the North, dual access to US-131 Expressway, M-46 and M-82 highways add to the attraction of Reynolds Township.
The woods, parks, creeks (including several designated trout streams) are an attraction for those who like a nature setting, hunting or fishing. The Little Muskegon, Whitefish, Handy and Tamarack Creeks pass through the township to Lake Michigan. The Manistee National Forest, over 1,700 acres, is a wildlife sanctuary for a wide variety of birds and animals. The picturesque Fred Meijer White Pine Trail, running from Grand Rapids, through the township, north to Cadillac, offers biking, hiking and snowmobiling. Other features are a Montcalm County Sheriff Sub-station, a highly rated fire department, and education is serviced by Tri-County Area Schools with an excellent group of administration, teachers and support staff.
