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 />

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 />
