Honey Creek Landing Marina
Honey Creek Landing Marina has been Grand Lake’s favorite nautical hub for over 15 years. A full service marina, Honey Creek has over 100 covered slips, ranging from 30 to 60 feet, available for either annual or overnight rentals. We have a pump-out station, 24-hour fueling site with diesel and no-ethanol gas, newly restocked ship store featuring nautical themed items and lake accessories, lounge and renovated bathhouse, and a convenience store. We also offer full service boat repair and sales. We take immense pride in being a pillar of the community, and are dedicated to providing our customers with a safe and enjoyable Grand Lake experience. Brian and Lessie Dickson are the proud and excited new owners of Honey Creek Landing Marina. After boating on Grand Lake for over 20 years, the Dicksons relocated from their home in Wichita, KS, to be full-time Grand Lakers and residents of Grove. They bring with them their daughter Lily, and two dogs. Brian is an avid entrepreneur and Lessie is a successful business Operations Manager. Combining their unique talents and passion for the lake lifestyle, they are immensely looking forward to making new connections in the area and bringing many improvements to the property. The Dicksons have completely renovated the marina to bring it up to their standards. 98% of the dock was completely redone, and a 24-hour fueling station has been installed. There’s a brand new convenience store, fully stocked ship store, a thoroughly renovated bathhouse and lounge, and many more exciting changes to come. Brian and Lessie encourage all lake enthusiasts to stop by the marina and meet them in person. [read more]

GRDA - Ecosystems and Education Center
Nestled along the scenic shores of Grand Lake—just an angler's cast away from the historic Pensacola Dam—the Grand River Dam Authority’s (GRDA) Ecosystems and Education Center stands as a testament to the authority's commitment to environmental stewardship and education. This state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in GRDA’s ongoing efforts to manage and protect the natural resources under its care. Extensive Natural Resources The GRDA oversees nearly 70,000 acres of lake water surface in Oklahoma, encompassing the vast expanses of Grand Lake, Lake Hudson, and the W.R. Holway Reservoir. Since 2016, its stewardship has also extended to the picturesque waters of the Illinois River. This extensive area is not only vital for recreational activities but also serves as an important habitat for various wildlife species. Advanced Water Quality Laboratory At the heart of the Ecosystems and Education Center is a state-of-the-art water quality laboratory. Here, GRDA's dedicated team members engage in ongoing water quality monitoring, ensuring the health and sustainability of the water resources. Regular testing and analysis enable the GRDA to maintain high standards of water quality, safeguarding both recreational users and the ecosystem. A One-Stop Resource for Lake Area Needs Beyond the laboratory, the Ecosystems and Education Center serves as a “one-stop permit shopping” location for lake area residents and visitors. Whether you are preparing to build a dock, an angler looking to schedule a tournament, or someone seeking lake-related permits for Grand Lake or Lake Hudson, the center offers the resources and assistance you need to navigate the permitting process smoothly. Community Engagement and Education One of the most significant features of the Ecosystems and Education Center is the Grand Hall, a spacious auditorium and community meeting area available for rental. This versatile space offers stunning views of Grand Lake and Pensacola Dam, making it an ideal venue for events and gatherings. Throughout much of the year, the Grand Hall also functions as a classroom for student groups. Here, learners engage in educational programs focused on various topics, including: Ecosystem Management: Understanding the delicate balance of local ecosystems. Hydroelectric Power: Exploring how the GRDA harnesses water power to generate electricity. Water and Electric Safety: Learning essential safety practices for interacting with water and electrical systems. History of the Grand River Region: Delving into the rich history and cultural significance of the area. The Grand River Dam Authority’s Ecosystems and Education Center is more than just a facility; it is a vital resource for the community, promoting education, sustainability, and responsible stewardship of Oklahoma’s natural resources. Whether you are a local resident, a visitor to the area, or a student eager to learn, the center offers invaluable services and knowledge to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the beautiful Grand Lake region.

Grand Lake Bum
Can you believe it’s already Easter week? Folks celebrate in different ways, I’m sure – Easter Egg Hunts, big Brunch extravaganzas, Sunrise Services, once-a-year church attendance, etc. Ironically, a lot of marijuana stores are sponsoring a celebration at the Grove Community Center Saturday with the “First Annual Toker Run.” I’m assuming this event was scheduled when people realized Easter this year is on 4/20. ***** With all the economic uncertainty in the past few weeks, you may be wondering where all the money went. Here’s your answer: it went to August, Georgia. More than 1,500 private jets maxed out the capacity at the Augusta airports for The Masters last week. ***** After seven years of trying without success, perhaps Congress will finally approve legislation to allow Oklahoma to remain permanently on Daylight Saving Time. That would be an incredible boost for tourism in the state! Oklahoma has a law on the books that will be implemented to leave the clocks on DST year-round if Congress approves the “Sunshine Protection Act” to allow us to do so. Finally, there is a U.S. Senate Commerce Committee hearing on the bill scheduled for this week (Oklahoma Senator James Lankford is a co-author). President Trump finally spoke on the issue this week: “The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day,” he said in a post on Truth Social. “Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!!” While Congress is in the mood to approve virtually everything President Trump wants, maybe we’ll finally get this done! ***** Some things just defy understanding. I’ve always thought that the ultimate bizarre thing was banks charging penalties and fees for insufficient funds. Having “insufficient funds” is prima facie evidence that you don’t have money to pay penalties. But the City Council in Bartlesville has topped that coldness with a new groundbreaking stroke of ignorance by considering a recommendation from something called the “homeless task force” to impose a $500 fine for anyone who is homeless and caught sleeping outdoors. I’m pretty sure if the homeless had $500 spare dollars every day, they would probably get a hotel room! ***** Apparently we could use a little more education at the top of the heap in the U.S. Department of Education. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon addressed an education summit last week, reportedly pushing for more Artificial Intelligence training in schools. Unfortunately for the nation’s top educator, she constantly referred to it as A1 (A-one) instead of AI. She needs to brush up a little or our kids in elementary school will soon be spending classroom time learning all about steak sauce! ***** GRAND LAKE BUM SHOUT-OUTS: Happy birthday wishes go out this week to Grand Lakers Liz Paden, Jeff Spielmann, Jason Faulconer, Don Bullard, Steve Long, Cheryl Koesler, Bruce May, Marsha McCorkle, Larry Sanford, Jackie Moore, Greg Bolton, Creed Littlefield, Lissa Merillat, Gary Anstine, Travers Mahan, Don Douglas, and Jim Forrester. ***** BEST GRAND LAKE EVENTS THIS WEEK: Karaoke returns to Doc’s Bar & Grill at Shangri-La Thursday night (6:00-9:00). Thursday is also “Trivia Night” at both BOOM at The Regatta and Mooney’s Sunset Bar & Grill. Saturday is the big Langley Easter Egg Hunt (11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.), the First Annual “Toker Run” at the Grove Community Center (2:00-7:30), and the Wheeling in Grand Lake event at the off-road area in Disney. Sunday is Easter Brunch at Speedy’s Chophouse in Grove (9:00-2:30) The Summit Restaurant at Shangri-La (11:00-5:00); and a giant Easter Egg Hunt at The Anchor at Shangri-La (12:00 p.m.). ***** RANDY KREHBIEL’S RANDOM FACTOID OF THE WEEK: The famous clown Emmett Kelly began his circus career as a trapeze artist. ***** FUN FACT OF THE WEEK: During this week in 1964, The Beatles set a record that may never be broken. Every song in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 was a Beatles song. ***** ODD FACT OF THE WEEK: For April Fools’ Day in 1998, Burger King took out a full-page ad in USA Today announcing the launch of the “left-handed Whopper” that was designed specifically for left-handed Americans. Burger King said the condiments of the burger would remain the same, but they would be rotated 180-degrees. Thousands of people showed up the next day, asking for the lefty Whopper. You can’t fix stupid. ***** BEST FACEBOOK POST OF THE WEEK: Stop crying about your problems on the internet. Bottle them up inside and disguise them with dark inappropriate humor, like a grown up. ***** PALINDROME OF THE WEEK: “Rise to vote, sir” spelled backwards is still “Rise to vote, sir.” ***** BEST SIGN SEEN THIS WEEK: If I take you on my boat, do not ask to come back early. ***** BEST BLUESKY POST OF THE WEEK: Thanks to all the people who said it’s fine to allow your pets to sleep in your bed. Now my goldfish is dead. ***** PUN OF THE WEEK: In an anatomy class recently, a medical student hid an arm bone as a joke. No one found that humerus. ***** UNANSWERED QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How much sawdust can you put in a rice cake before people notice? ***** OBSERVATION OF THE WEEK: I’ve started referring to my afternoon cocktail as “productivity enhancement.” My to-do list hasn’t gotten shorter, but I care much less. ***** QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “If America hasn’t broken your heart, then you don’t love her enough.” – Senator Cory Booker ***** FEEL-OLD MOMENTS OF THE WEEK: Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and Oklahoma legend Vince Gill turned 68 years old over the past weekend, and iconic talk show host David Letterman turned 78. Actor, director, producer Ron Howard and his wife Cheryl are preparing to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Actress, producer, and New York Times best-selling author Marilu Henner, best known for her role as Elaine Nardo in the TV series Taxi, turned 73 years old last week; and country singer-songwriter Bobby Bare turned 90. The rock group Led Zeppelin has announced a “reunion tour” beginning June 10. The group has not performed publicly in 18 years. ***** BEST WEEKEND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT: On Monkey Island, Thursday night karaoke returns to Doc’s Bar & Grill at Shangri-La this week hosted by Sundown Entertainment (6:00-9:00 p.m.) and Kevin Price performs live Friday night at Doc’s Bar & Grill at Shangri-La. DJ Kennedy leads Rockstar Karaoke Friday night at The Monkey Bar.

Weekend play wraps up Sunday with DC hosting San Antonio (4:00). ***** I’m a little concerned about the Easter weekend weather. Temperatures will be nice, with highs around 70 degrees, but it’s likely to be a little breezy and we have a 50% chance of thunderstorms Saturday & Sunday – but that means there’s also a 50% chance of NO Thunderstorms, so get out and have some Grand Lake fun. Remember, though, wherever you decide to party, be sure to buy a drink for the guy next to you. It could be me!

Welcome Back Weekend
The official and annual reopening of Grand Lake, dubbed Welcome Back Weekend for over twenty years, The traditional Poker Run, an event that attracts nearly 400 participants in the event’s inaugural year, remains the backbone of one of the most popular off-season weekends ever unveiled on Oklahoma’s premier lake. What is Welcome Back Weekend? Welcome Back Weekend is an annual event celebrated at Grand Lake, OK. This event was started in March of 1992 by Terry Frost, the previous owner of the Cherokee Yacht Club. The weekend began with a poker run on Saturday and a showing of the hands-on Sunday. Grand Laker Terry Frost and the late Barbara Connor proposed incorporating a Chamber-sponsored “Casino Night,” which became an instant success. Welcome Back Weekend is to get you back on the lake so you can enjoy Grand Lake more of the year. The event is not just a party anymore; it has come to signify the beginning of the boating season on Grand Lake. Although Grand Lake is always open to the public... Welcome Back Weekend is the official Celebration of the coming season! [read more]
