Since April, ten adults, one child, and three dogs have been rescued from the Thornapple River in Hastings, according to the Barry County Sheriff's Office.

The rescues are due to a dead tree that fell on a sharp turn in the river.

The sharp turn is located upstream from Center Road causing difficult navigation.
