This Weekend at Grand Lake - May 15, 2025

Good Morning!

Anybody else like me and wondering how in the world next weekend is Memorial Day Weekend.

It snuck up on me - not gonna lie about that.

So that means it is time to make sure the house is clean and the fridge is stocked up, the boat is detailed and fueled up, the yard is looking tight, and you’ve got your sea legs for a full weekend of fun.

And that means you better do a practice run this weekend.

Friday and Saturday are looking to be perfect May days for the lake this weekend. It might get a little bumpy on Sunday, but, then again, it might not.

All of your favorite waterfront spots are now open (still waiting on the new Drunken Rooster on the Water in Grove) so get out there, grab a bite, take in some live music, etc.

OR, just chill. On the dock, catching a crappie. Or on the deck, listening to the sounds of Grand Lake.

And, here is what else you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake!

Lake Level - As of 9 am, the lake level is 743.3’ with no gates open. Lake temps are starting to push 65 to 70 degrees.
