46,500 acres, roughly 1,300 miles of shoreline, four counties, dozens of towns. Everything Grand Lake — in one place.
Grand Lake O' the Cherokees — Grand Lake for short — is the third-largest lake in Oklahoma and the crown jewel of the northeast corner of the state. Formed in 1940 by the Pensacola Dam on the Grand (Neosho) River, it stretches 46 miles through four counties and touches dozens of communities.
