WELCOME <strong>to</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong><br />

In 1937 <strong>the</strong> U.S. Government approved twenty million<br />

dollars for <strong>the</strong> construction of a dam across <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong><br />

River. It was a dream that people in Nor<strong>the</strong>astern<br />

<strong>Oklahoma</strong> had had for over thirty years. Construction <strong>to</strong>ok<br />

only three years <strong>to</strong> build <strong>the</strong> “world’s longest multi-arch dam.”<br />

The Jewel in Nor<strong>the</strong>astern<br />

<strong>Oklahoma</strong>’s Crown<br />

<strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> and <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>wns and cities that<br />

wind around its 1,300 miles of shoreline, is<br />

home <strong>to</strong> about 15,000 genial residents from<br />

Monday through Thursday. Friday arrives<br />

and so do <strong>the</strong> hundreds more who call <strong>Grand</strong><br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir weekend getaway.<br />

Exit <strong>the</strong> interstate and <strong>the</strong> stresses of city life<br />

fall away <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> replaced with <strong>the</strong> serenity of<br />

blue water, bluer skies and wildlife that outnum<strong>be</strong>rs<br />

locals.<br />

Wake <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> sounds of gentle breezes rustling<br />

through leaves, a fish breaking <strong>the</strong><br />

water’s surface and <strong>the</strong> birds singing as <strong>the</strong>y<br />

greet <strong>the</strong> new dawn. <strong>You</strong> feel energized and<br />

at peace, looking forward <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> pleasures<br />

that lie ahead. So many choices; spend<br />

hours on <strong>the</strong> lake, rummage through <strong>the</strong><br />

boutiques and antique shops, scout out nature,<br />

or nurture your mind and body.<br />

When evening starts <strong>to</strong> settle in, you have<br />

multiple options <strong>be</strong>fore you. Countless restaurants<br />

and night spots wait <strong>to</strong> satisfy your<br />

hunger and thirst, along with casinos with<br />

which <strong>to</strong> test your luck.<br />

Before you close your eyes, <strong>be</strong> sure <strong>to</strong> look<br />

upward <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> sky. <strong>You</strong>’ll find it overflowing<br />

with millions of sparkling points of<br />

light, so clear you can almost catch <strong>the</strong><br />

shooting stars as <strong>the</strong>y glide across <strong>the</strong><br />

vista.<br />

With its combination of attractions, natural<br />

wonders, gracious populace, and varied<br />

housing options, <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> is a leading<br />

choice not only for vacations, but for raising<br />

your family or retirement living.<br />

<strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> O’ <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cherokees</strong> is <strong>the</strong> closest<br />

thing <strong>to</strong> heaven on earth. <strong>You</strong> wonder<br />

how you can <strong>be</strong> so blessed <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> in this<br />

place, at this time.<br />

I hope you will enjoy your view of lake living<br />

through <strong>the</strong> pages of this guide. <strong>You</strong>’ll<br />

This reputation is growing thanks in part <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> lake hosting <strong>the</strong> B.A.S.S. Elite Series <strong>to</strong>urnaments<br />

for two consecutive years, 2006 and<br />

2007. These pro <strong>to</strong>urnaments have <strong>be</strong>en televised<br />

on ESPN2 world-wide. Mike McClelland<br />

won in 2006 with 79 pounds 7 ounces and<br />

Kevin VanDam needed 78 pounds 2 ounces <strong>to</strong><br />

come in first in 2007. Each man walked away<br />

with <strong>the</strong> $100,000 check and Sooner Run <strong>to</strong>urnament<br />

trophy. (Visit Bassmaster.com for s<strong>to</strong>ries<br />

of <strong>the</strong>ir wins on <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong>.)<br />

Because of <strong>the</strong> ongoing work of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> River<br />

<strong>the</strong> lake fishery is thriving. GRDA has<br />

stepped up <strong>the</strong>ir conservation efforts with <strong>the</strong><br />

planting of aquatic vegetation and <strong>the</strong> creation<br />

of artificial habitat. They are also actively working<br />

with all <strong>the</strong> fishing <strong>to</strong>urnaments held on<br />

<strong>the</strong> lake so that conservation efforts will return<br />

healthy fish back <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> water for future anglers<br />

<strong>to</strong> catch.<br />

<strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> is home <strong>to</strong> white, spotted, small<br />

and large mouth bass. <strong>You</strong>’ll also find bluegill,<br />

spoonbill and channel catfish along with <strong>the</strong><br />

white crappie occupying <strong>the</strong> waters.<br />

More than one fishing show a month features<br />

<strong>the</strong> lake, and <strong>Grand</strong> claims some expert fishing<br />

guides who are willing <strong>to</strong> share <strong>the</strong>ir excitement<br />

in catching fish with visi<strong>to</strong>rs, residents and <strong>the</strong><br />

pro’s who like fishing <strong>Grand</strong>. If getting in a boat<br />

and cruising across <strong>the</strong> blue water doesn’t appeal<br />

<strong>to</strong> you, you can also check out <strong>the</strong> many enclosed<br />

enjoy <strong>the</strong> most popular sport in <strong>the</strong> world. (For<br />

COMING or going<br />

By Air or By Land • Okay, so now you’ve <strong>be</strong>en looking through our<br />

Visi<strong>to</strong>r Guide, you’re thinking you’d like <strong>to</strong> plan a trip <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> area; but<br />

how do you get from point A <strong>to</strong> point B. <strong>You</strong>r travel choices are varied and limited<br />

only by your wallet and time.<br />

Let’s start with air travel. If you have your own<br />

plane, we’ve got plenty of first-class airports for<br />

you <strong>to</strong> land at. With three lake-side airports<br />

you can just about step out of your plane and<br />

in<strong>to</strong> your boat. The newest is <strong>the</strong> South <strong>Grand</strong><br />

Regional Airport in Ketchum.<br />

If your destination is Monkey Island, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong><br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Regional Airport is on <strong>the</strong> east side of <strong>the</strong><br />

peninsula and easy <strong>to</strong> locate. In Grove, <strong>the</strong> airport<br />

closest <strong>to</strong> down<strong>to</strong>wn is right off Highway<br />

10. The surrounding communities of Vinita,<br />

Miami and Pryor all have <strong>the</strong>ir own regional<br />

airports which are also available <strong>to</strong> you.<br />

Commercial air carriers<br />

fly in <strong>to</strong> Tulsa, Northwest<br />

Arkansas and Joplin<br />

Airports. From each of<br />

<strong>the</strong>se cities, travel time<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> is around<br />

one hour, give or take<br />

which area of <strong>the</strong> lake<br />

you are traveling <strong>to</strong>. Rental cars are available <strong>to</strong><br />

take you on <strong>the</strong> final leg of your journey.<br />

Driving distances <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> is 370<br />

miles from Fort Worth,<br />

around 250 miles from<br />

Kansas City or Wichita,<br />

fewer than 200 miles<br />

from <strong>Oklahoma</strong> City or<br />

70 from Tulsa while Fayetteville<br />

is less than 90.<br />

So whatever method of transportation you decide<br />

<strong>to</strong> take, once you get <strong>to</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> you<br />

can expect <strong>the</strong> welcome mat will <strong>be</strong> out, <strong>the</strong><br />

fishing poles will have new line on <strong>the</strong>m and <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>be</strong>verages will <strong>be</strong> frosty. <strong>You</strong> will also discover<br />

why <strong>the</strong> region has won awards three years in a<br />

row as <strong>the</strong> “Best <strong>Lake</strong> Community” in <strong>Oklahoma</strong><br />

as well as “Favorite Weekend Getaway<br />

Destination”.<br />

How did Monkey Island<br />

get it’s name?<br />

Monkey Island got its name during <strong>the</strong> time <strong>the</strong> lake basin was <strong>be</strong>ing<br />

cleared in 1938. “The Bunch and Lee families went <strong>to</strong> Tulsa <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Mohawk Park zoo for a Sunday afternoon outing. In <strong>the</strong> park <strong>the</strong>re<br />

was a small island with a moat around it where <strong>the</strong> monkeys were<br />

kept . . .<br />

Soon after this visit, a Tulsa World newspaper reporter came through<br />

Bernice and was visiting with Mr. Bunch about <strong>the</strong> changes <strong>the</strong> lake<br />

would make. Since this area was <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> surrounded by water, Mr.<br />

Bunch jokingly remarked, “Over <strong>the</strong>re will <strong>be</strong> Monkey Island, where<br />

<strong>the</strong> monkeys will <strong>be</strong>.” In a few days this report was printed in <strong>the</strong><br />

Tulsa World and <strong>the</strong> name stuck. The island has <strong>be</strong>en known as<br />

Monkey Island ever since.” – THELMA LEE<br />

HEALTHY LAWN & GARDEN DEMONSTRATION<br />

AT GRAND LAKE ASSOCIATION VISITOR CENTER<br />

Through <strong>the</strong> CLEAR GRAND project, a Lawn and Garden Demonstration<br />

Site is <strong>be</strong>ing developed with <strong>the</strong> help of local Master Gardeners<br />

and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> Association. “With increased development<br />

of <strong>the</strong> area around <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong>, it will <strong>be</strong> important <strong>to</strong> ensure that<br />

residential lawns and gardens do not negatively impact water quality<br />

in <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> and local streams,” says CLEAR GRAND project<br />

coordina<strong>to</strong>r, Kevin Gustavson. “This demonstration garden will<br />

help well-intentioned locals and visi<strong>to</strong>rs know how <strong>to</strong> easily maintain<br />

<strong>be</strong>autiful gardens with a minimal impact . . . and you just might save<br />

money in <strong>the</strong> process.”<br />

The <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> Association Visi<strong>to</strong>r Center, location for <strong>the</strong> demonstration<br />

site, has a perfect lake-friendly lawn <strong>be</strong>cause it is <strong>be</strong>autiful,<br />

uses no fertilizer, and has suitable, yet low, nutrient values according<br />

<strong>to</strong> a recent soil test.<br />

BEAUTIFUL, LAKE-FRIENDLY LAWN AT THE GLA VISITOR CENTER IS AN IDEAL PLACE<br />

FOR A LAWN AND GARDEN DEMONSTRATION SITE.<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> attractive lawn, vegetable and flower gardens are<br />

<strong>be</strong>ing established <strong>be</strong>hind <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> Visi<strong>to</strong>r Center. These<br />

gardens will show <strong>the</strong> <strong>be</strong>nefits of recommended lawn care and<br />

gardening practices over conventional practices<br />

for both <strong>the</strong> quality of plants<br />

and water quality. At this site,<br />

<strong>the</strong> garden will <strong>be</strong> maintained<br />

with recommended practices<br />

that should have a low impact<br />

on water resources and great<br />

success in producing<br />

healthy plants. Rainfall<br />

simulation and soil testing<br />

should show low nutrient<br />

concentration in runoff<br />

compared with conventional<br />

management practices in<br />

<strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> Guide 2008 | Come <strong>to</strong> play . . . plan <strong>to</strong> stay!<br />

nearby locations. Local Master<br />

Gardeners have volunteered<br />

<strong>to</strong> help manage this site and<br />

spread <strong>the</strong> word about <strong>the</strong>se<br />

recommended practices.<br />

SUMMER VEGETABLE GARDEN AT THE GLA VISITOR CENTER JUST AFTER<br />

CONSTRUCTION AND PLANTING<br />

The first phase of <strong>the</strong> garden was completed in mid-2005 with <strong>the</strong><br />

construction of raised <strong>be</strong>ds and planting of a summer vegetable garden<br />

with help and donated plants from local Master Gardeners.<br />

Continued improvement of <strong>the</strong> garden includes planting shrubs, adding<br />

<strong>be</strong>ds for flowers, and developing a small composting facility <strong>to</strong><br />

reduce commercial fertilizer usage. A native plant garden is <strong>be</strong>ing<br />

developed that provides a num<strong>be</strong>r of <strong>be</strong>nefits <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> environment:<br />

<strong>the</strong> plants are attractive, climate adapted (low need for fertilizing and<br />

watering), resistant <strong>to</strong> local pests (low need for insecticides), and attractive<br />

<strong>to</strong> native wildlife such as butterflies and birds. Signs and brochures<br />

are <strong>be</strong>ing added <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> site <strong>to</strong> explain water friendly practices<br />

such as soil testing, fertilizer recommendations, composting, selecting<br />

suitable plants, native plants for flower gardens and landscaping,<br />

plant problems with over fertilization, etc.<br />

Come by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> Association<br />

Visi<strong>to</strong>r Center <strong>to</strong> see <strong>the</strong> garden<br />

and learn how <strong>to</strong> help <strong>the</strong><br />

land grow green while <strong>the</strong><br />

water stays clean.<br />

His<strong>to</strong>ric Pensacola Dam<br />

Located in <strong>the</strong> heart of Nor<strong>the</strong>ast <strong>Oklahoma</strong>, Pensacola Dam and <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> O’ <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cherokees</strong><br />

provide flood control for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> River and produce hydroelectric power for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> River Dam Authority.<br />

Known as <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong> River Project, <strong>the</strong> facility was <strong>the</strong> first hydroelectric system in <strong>Oklahoma</strong>.<br />

It started as one man’s dream. In <strong>the</strong> late 1800’s, Henry C. Holderman first envisioned building a dam on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Grand</strong><br />

River <strong>to</strong> bring electric power <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Cherokee Nation in Indian Terri<strong>to</strong>ry. Holderman worked for years <strong>to</strong> acquired financing<br />

for <strong>the</strong> project and came close on a couple of occasions. While Holderman watched, a group of men known as <strong>the</strong><br />

“Rainbow Chasers” turned <strong>the</strong> dream in<strong>to</strong> a reality. These men, including Jack Rorschach and George Schaefer of Vinita<br />

and Clay Babb and Owen L. Butler of Grove, made several trips <strong>to</strong> Washing<strong>to</strong>n, DC, <strong>to</strong> secure funding for <strong>the</strong> Pensacola<br />

Dam. With <strong>the</strong> help of Representative Wesley E. Disney and engineer W. R. Holway, funding was approved by President<br />

Franklin D. Roosevelt on Septem<strong>be</strong>r 18, 1937.<br />

Holway and Neuffer, project engineers, <strong>be</strong>gan survey and engineering work on Oc<strong>to</strong><strong>be</strong>r 25, 1937. Massman Construction<br />

Company of Kansas City, Missouri, was selected as <strong>the</strong> major contrac<strong>to</strong>r for <strong>the</strong> dam and powerhouse. After six<br />

months of preparation, excavating 1.6 million cubic yards of earth and rock, Massman <strong>be</strong>gan pouring <strong>the</strong> first of 510,000<br />

cubic yards of concrete on Decem<strong>be</strong>r 30, 1938. Building <strong>the</strong> dam required nearly 23.9 million pounds of reinforcing and<br />

structural steel and 625,000 barrels of cement <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong> 510,000 cubic yards of concrete. The 24-hour-a-day continuous<br />

pour was completed 20 months later, and <strong>the</strong> final openings in <strong>the</strong> dam under arches seven and eight were closed<br />

on March 21, 1940. The lake was full by <strong>the</strong> end of summer. Governor Leon Chase Phillips opened <strong>the</strong> road across <strong>the</strong><br />

dam on August 13, 1940. The entire contract on <strong>the</strong> dam was completed on Oc<strong>to</strong><strong>be</strong>r 4, 1940.<br />

• Pensacola Dam’s 51 arches and 21 spillways combine for a <strong>to</strong>tal length of 5,145 feet and span approximately one mile.<br />

Each arch has a clear span of 60 feet.<br />

• Approximately 3,000 men worked on <strong>the</strong> project. “Common” or “blue collar” laborers earned about $16 per week.<br />

• The construction period was <strong>the</strong> driest 18 months on record. Only one small flood occurred during construction of<br />

<strong>the</strong> dam.<br />

• Many lives were saved by using nets underneath <strong>the</strong> arches as <strong>the</strong> height of <strong>the</strong> dam increased.<br />

• Maximum height of dam – 150 feet<br />

<strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> O’ <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cherokees</strong> sits at an elevation of 745.0 feet above sea level. The lake area is a <strong>to</strong>tal of 46,500 acres.<br />

Capacity of <strong>the</strong> lake is 1,672,000 acre-feet with a mean depth of 35.9 feet and a maximum depth of 164 feet.<br />
