Welcome to Chippewa Township

Chippewa Township is located in the county of Mecosta, in the Central Michigan area of the Lower Peninsula. It is roughly an hour north of Grand Rapids and 45 minutes west of Mount Pleasant. The township is both a rural agricultural and recreational community. Chippewa Township is the home of Chippewa Lake, the largest natural lake in Mecosta County. From boating to swimming to fishing to snowmobiling, all-sport Chippewa Lake has plenty to offer locals and visitors, year ‘round. If you are a fan of small lakeside towns and lots of open country, Chippewa Township is waiting for you!

The Chippewa Township Offices will be closed for in-person contact until December 8, 2020. However, we will continue to monitor emails and phone messages. If it is absolutely necessary for you to come to the office, Please call ahead and make an appointment as we will be adjusting our hours. A mask is required for entering the Township Building! Township officials believe taking precautionary steps are the responsible steps a government must take to ensure the safety and well-being of the community and its employees.
