Grand Lake Information

Officially named Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, this body of water is also referred to as Grand Lake by the locals. It is located in the Ozark Mountain Range’s foothills in the northeastern region of the state of Oklahoma. The lake boasts the Pensacola Dam, a dam designed with multiple arches and houses a hydroelectric power generator. Grand Lake draws outdoors enthusiasts from around the country like sailboaters as well as amateur and professional fishermen because of its large bass population.

A significant portion of the area around Grand Lake is rural. Consequently, there are copious small towns, villages, and communities with a friendly atmosphere. In Mayes County you can visit the town of Disney (which does not have any relation to the brand name). Disney is nestled on the the south end of Grand Lake’s shore. To travel into and out of the town, the only way to do so is via Oklahoma State Highway 28. Disney has a small town charm with its drive-ins, post office, gift and convenience shops, and the historic Dam Hotel and Paula's Boutique. Near to the lake, Delaware County’s Grove, Oklahoma proves to be a slightly larger community than Disney. The city has strong ties to Native American history since it used to be part of Cherokee land. Attractions at Grove are the Grand Lake Casino, Lendonwood Gardens, and eminent fishing events and competitions.

Tulsa, Oklahoma is about an hour and a half’s drive southwest away from Grand Lake. In addition to being the state’s most prominent arts and cultural center, Tulsa boasts breathtaking scenery as well since it is cradled by the Ozark Mountains’ foothills and the Arkansas River. The city is renowned for its expansive collection of towering buildings constructed in the art deco architectural style. Notable structures include the Philtower, Boston Avenue Methodist Church, and Mid-Continent Tower. Tulsa features many internationally distinguished museums including the Philbrook Museum of Art that has a collection of artwork by Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, and Georgia O’Keeffe; and the Gilcrease Museum with its extensive assortment of American Western artifacts and art. From the lake, an approximately two hour’s worth of driving southward leads to the city of Muskogee, Oklahoma. The city is famous for its blooming azaleas, so every April, Muskogee celebrates its annual Azalea Festival. Similar to Tulsa, Muskogee also fosters a robust arts culture. The Oklahoma Music Hall of Game honors the state’s musicians, and the Five Civilized Tribes Museum educates visitors about the nations of the Seminole, Muscogee, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw and their respective history with artwork.

Whether visitors aim for a relaxing getaway from city life or a weekend of exciting outdoor recreation, there is an ideal property at Grand Lake to appeal to almost every type of lifestyle. Vacation rentals range from lakefront cabins to romantic cottages and cozy houses providing a lovely home away from home ambiance.

The nearest airport from the lake is Tulsa International which is about 80 miles southwest when driving on Interstate 44. There are numerous highways that lead to, from, and around Grand Lake, so driving a car would be the most convenient mode of transportation.
