Grand Lake Islands

There are dozens of islands and coves — here are the ones worth the trip.

Named islands worth exploring

  • Monkey Island
    Not really an island anymore — connected by causeway. Restaurants, marinas, the Peninsula.
  • Bird Island
    Small, private cove nearby is a favorite anchor spot.
  • Sailboat Bridges islands
    Cluster of tiny islands under the bridges.
  • Coves off Drowning Creek
    Cliffs, deep water, less-trafficked.

Etiquette

Most shorelines are private — stay below the water line unless posted otherwise. Pack out everything, especially glass.
