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 />

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 />
