This Weekend at Grand Lake - June 21, 2024

Summer's here and the time is right...

Good Morning!

Right on queue… heat indexes bumping up over a hundo this weekend. Summertime it is!

Once again, not a lot of OGA’s (Organized Group Activities) this weekend, so it’s a blank canvas of Grand Lake for you out there to get out and live your best lake life.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t stuff happening, because there always is around the lake in the summertime.

Oh, and if you dig food trucks, you’ll want to be at the south end tonight… plenty of choices in Langley and Ketchum.

Anyway, read on and you’ll have the info you need to make the most of your Grand Lake weekend, with lots of live music, opportunities to move your body in the mornings, and much more!

Lake Level - As of 7 am, the lake level was 744.4’ with no gates open and minimal generation. Lake temps are just like bath water - upper 70s and low 80s depending on where you are.

Final (But First?) Friday with Jana Jae - After getting rained out a few weeks ago, Langley is set to host their first Final Friday celebration today at Langley City Park, with several food trucks on hand from Noon to 7:30 and the First Lady of Country Fiddle herself, Jana Jae, performing at 6:30. Awesome!

More Trucks & Music - The new Ketchum Eats Food Park, home to Bradford’s BBQ, is hosting a free lawn concert tonight (Friday) starting at 6 pm at their location on Hwy 85 in Ketchum. Enjoy a great variety of food, and free music from all decades with Harmonic Fusion! Park along the baseball field, bring lawn chairs and you can even BYOB!
