GRAND LAKE – Even during economic downturns Grand Lake seems to lure lake lovers to its 1,300 miles of shoreline to enjoy breathtaking picturesque views and lake activities.
Lake enthusiasts often flock to Grand Lake from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. Typically, Grand Lake draws around 50,000 tourists over the Fourth of July holiday, making it the fifth-largest community in Oklahoma for just a few days.
With the help of Grove and Grand Lake tourism leaders Grand Lake is capitalizing on “Staycations” and are seeing more visitors outside the three summer months.
“Grand Lake has beautiful rental homes,” said Grove City Manager Debbie Bottoroff.
Vacationers don’t have to go hundreds of miles to enjoy quality time with their families, she said.
“Grand Lake is versatile – and the area is adding more tourism activities each year,” Bottoroff said.
More of the tourists to Grand Lake live nearby and they end up spending more time vacationing instead of traveling to their vacation destination, she said.
Vacation homes around Grand Lake are perfect for corporate retreats, wedding parties, family reunions and girls’ and guys’ weekends.
