This Weekend at Grand Lake - April 23, 2026

The last weekend of April...

Goooood Morning!

It’s a pretty lowkey weekend around the lake before the BIG LakeFun Season gets rolling NEXT weekend.

So, enjoy yourself, polish up the boat, catch a couple of fish, and go ahead and get yourself pre-registered for next weekend’s big Cinco de Poker Derby on Monkey Island.

And get your rest… it’s going to be a GREAT Grand Lake summer!

I don’t have much to say this morning, so let’s just get to it.

Here’s what you need to know for This Weekend at Grand Lake!

🏠 Featured Sponsor: Falcon Roofing

With Oklahoma spring storms in the forecast again this weekend, now's the time to make sure you’ve got a roofing company you can call and trust.

Falcon Roofing is Grand Laker-owned and operated — originally out of OKC, now serving Monkey Island and the Grand Lake area with the same certified, experienced team.

They handle everything from storm damage and repairs to full re-roofs and insurance claims assistance. Plus remodel and construction projects.

Give the crew at Falcon Roofing a call today to see how they can help with your Grand Lake project.

Lake Level - The lake level as of 8 am is 744.96’ with 1 gate still open (slightly) and ongoing generation. Lake surface temps are still mostly in the mid 60s, depending on where you are. There was a surge of water that came into the lake earlier in the week, so keep an eye out for debris, but the elevation is leveling.

Integris Volunteer Services - Today (Thursday!), head over to Rancho Viejo (540 W 3rd St, Grove) for lunch or dinner and 10% of your meal goes to INTEGRIS Health Grove Volunteer Services. Good food, good cause!

Meet The Makers & Pre-Register - Thinking about joining the Cinco de Poker Derby ( ←ALL the details on the big event!) next Saturday? Well, THIS Saturday is your last chance to pre-register in person! Head to The Market at 216 (← FB link) anytime between 10 AM–1 PM to meet the market’s local vendors, enjoy free food samples, AND lock in your spot for the poker run. Go get the goods at The Market and avoid the lines at next week’s poker run.

All Seasons x 2! - All Seasons Patio Grand Lake (← FB link) now has TWO locations! They just opened a brand new Grove showroom at 11219 US-59, and they're celebrating with open house hours through Saturday (Thu 12–4, Fri & Sat 10–4). Stop in, see the new space, and get inspired for your outdoor setup this summer. Their Langley showroom is still open too, so they've got the whole lake covered!

On The Water Eats - We’ll soon have a new (old?) place on the water at The Landings on Monkey Island, with Whitecap due to open soon. The Quarterdeck, Blind Swine, VIP Pizza at Hammerhead Marina, Doc’s Bar & Grill, and Boom on Grand, and Ugly’s Grill & Bar are now all open.

Library - The always-busy Grove Public Library calendar is HERE.
