This Weekend at Grand Lake - April 24, 2025

Good Morning!

It is a big water and a dirty water weekend at the lake with all of those rains from last weekend having done a cleansing in the watershed.

So, if you are on the lake this weekend… head on a swivel. OK? Lots of debris out there.

I haven’t been to the dock to see if the mucky water disturbed that crappie bite, but, there’s only one way to find out! So, that could be happening.

Speaking of the big water… I’ve somehow gotten away from including the water level in these emails.

I’ll correct that below, but, for those of you who like to keep score at home, you can always see the official current lake level and flood control info, straight from the source, at https://stormops.grda.tech/riveroperations.

Alright, it is kind of a quiet weekend around the lake, ahead of a banger of a weekend next week to kick-off May (as always, check out the events page for deets on things coming up), BUT… here is what you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake!

This Weekend at Grand Lake

Lake Level - As of 8 am, the lake level is 748.69’ with, as of yesterday afternoon, 6 total gates opened - 4 on the dam and 2 on the east spillways. At least for this event, the water is well on its way down. The current lake temps are right around 60 degrees, and the lake has gotten a little dirty.

Step Back in Time - Experience living history at Colonial Civil War Era Days this Saturday and Sunday, April 26–27, at Har-Ber Village in Grove. Enjoy live reenactments, artillery demonstrations, period crafts, and an evening dance—perfect for families, history buffs, and curious minds of all ages. Don’t miss this immersive weekend of fun, learning, and hands-on experiences!

More Easter Eggs - The big Easter Egg Hunt at the Langley City Park that was scheduled for last Saturday was moved to THIS Saturday thanks to the threat of rain last weekend. So… come on! Saturday morning in Langley!
