This Week at Grand Lake

Now that was some rain!

Good Morning!

Got some impressive rain around here the past couple of nights - at least 8 inches here at World Headquarters right by Hammerhead Marina.

But the night rains made for some awesome lake days this weekend with lots of crappie caught, fireworks shot, music rocked, and Grand Lake Livin’ at its best.

We are now down to a few work weeks until Labor Day weekend as we get ready to roll into fall at the lake.

That means it' is pretty quiet this week as everyone settles back into their back-to-school routines and such.

But there are a few things you should know.

So, here is what you need to know for this week at Grand Lake.
