The population was 3,042 at the 2000 census. Known as the "Party Capital" of Mid-Michigan, Croton lays on the banks of the majestic Muskegon River. Nestled between the Croton Dam and Hardy Dam, an artificial lake is created which plays hosts to world-class fishing[3], boating[4], and natural scenery[5]. Often, referred to as "Michigan's Secret Paradise" Croton is lauded as a quiet get away, especially during the warm summer months. Communities
