- This Week at Grand Lake - July 1, 2024
Gooood Morning!
It is Grand Lake’s time to shine - warm mornings and evenings, hot afternoons, perfect water conditions, lots of places to go on the lake, and, oh yea, fireworks.
I’m coming to you a little earlier this morning because the family is here and we’ve got wakes to ride, so hitting the water here in a few.
But I think I’ve got most everything you need to know for the next few days down below.
So, a Hap Hap Happy Independence Day to all of you!
Get out there and enjoy this fantastic lake — but remember, head on a swivel, it is going to be busy out there.
And here is what you need to know for this July 4th week at Grand Lake (and, remember, if you are new around here I’ll be back Friday morning with everything you need to know for the weekend ahead):
