The Rabbit River in Wayland

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 river rises in farmland in the southeast portion of Leighton Township and flows generally westward, traversing the northern portion of Wayland Township, the city of Wayland, the northern portion of Hopkins Township, the extreme southwest corner of Dorr Township, Salem Township, Overisel Township, Heath Township, Hamilton, and Manlius Township, where it merges with the Kalamazoo near New Richmond.
