This Weekend at Grand Lake - Sept 4, 2025

Gooood Morning!

Well, it is not yet Fall, but it is already feeling like it, and this weekend will prove it, with highs in the 70s all weekend long.

Beautiful weather for cruising, fishing, chilling… however you spend your time doing your best Grand Lake livin’.

If you are already here, then you know Fall is a busy time around here.

I’ll do my best to keep the Events page of the website updated, so you can see what is going on.

Also, for those of you looking for on-the-water happenings, Sharky’s at Hammerhead is now closed for the season, but VIP Pizza is still open and will be for at least a couple of months.

Also, this is the last weekend for the season at Eddy’s Lakeside at Shangri-La. They are having an end-of-season Low Country Boil with live music and good food on Saturday from 4 to 7 pm.

And if you missed it, Brandford’s BBQ at the Ketchum Eats Food Park is now closed. BUT… word on the street is someone else is moving in.

And there are still plenty of great lakefront spots open for the season, which you can find HERE.

Alright, let’s get to it… here is what you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake!

This Weekend at Grand Lake

Lake Level - As of 6 am, the lake level is 743’ with no gates open and intermittent generation. Lake temps are starting to cool off a bit, generally in the mid-70s.

First Friday Wine - It is time again for the First Friday Wine Share in Grove on Friday from 6 to 7:30 pm. This month, the group treks to Zena and the Zena Suri Alpaca Farm. The address is 35401 S 580Rd in Jay. As always, bring a bottle to share, your wine glass, and maybe an appetizer to share with the group. Everyone is welcome!

Saturday Markets - 9 am is the start time for both the Grove Farmer’s Market on the Community Center Lawn and the Saturday Morning Market in Langley next to Reasor’s. Get the goods while the getting is good!

“FORE the Kids” - The South Grand Lake Foundation hosts the 3rd Annual Ketchum Warriors Backpack Program Golf Tournament on Monday, the 8th, at The Coves, raising funds to help fight childhood hunger in the South Grand Lake community. Team spots may be limited, but there are still great opportunities for sponsors to get involved and make a difference. Learn more and support the cause here.

Good Good Golf - On Monday, Sept. 8 at 3 PM, the wildly popular YouTube golf group Good Good Golf—with nearly 2 million subscribers—will tee off in an open-to-the-public Battlefield Shootout on Shangri-La’s stunning par-3 Battlefield course. Don’t miss this chance to see the influencers who are reshaping golf entertainment bring their game (and their millions of fans) to Grand Lake!

Readers at Noon - The Playmakers’ Readers at Noon series returns Sept. 16 & 24 with Nancy Flowers and Stan Starts in a witty comedy where loss meets laughter and even grief has a punch line. Enjoy lunch and the show for $20, or attend the performance only for $10—learn more here.
