Grand Lake offers boaters so much room to run and play. With it's
deep blue waters and long, wide channels stretching for miles,
cruising, skiing and tubing are limited only by the size of your gas
tank. When your ready to throttle down there are plenty of quiet
coves to drift along and drop a line while you listen to the waves
and wildlife on the forested shores.
The tall hills surrounding our natural waterpark do a pretty good job keeping the
wind off of the water and making Grand Lake a calmer and more enjoyable place to
drop your anchor. Boasting 1300 miles of shoreline the lake is well managed by the
Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) who patrol it's waters and look after
inland sailors to make sure everyone is boating safely. We're very fortunate, for
although the original purpose for the lake was strictly a hydroelectric power source,
GRDA has accomodated boaters as well as homeowners by allowing homes built
close to the water to have private boat docks. Their hospitality has blessed our
community with the status of being one of the few lakes in our state where you can
live on the water and park your boat at the back door.

You'll find a wide array of marinas and boat service centers from one end of Grand to the
other. Many are specialists in pampering your vessel and keeping it in tip top shape. You
can leave it here for the winter in one of the many reasonably priced slips which can be
equipped with innovative pneumatic tanks which will lift your craft from the cool waters of
winter.
Several marinas are managed by yacht clubs whose high quality facilities offer their
members that extra touch of class and comfort. Swimming pools, gourmet dining, and ship
stores filled with lake fashion and sun supplies are available with membership. They know
how to throw a party too. Social events are as frequent as they are fun and creative.
Of course many are just looking for some parking space and a place to drop their boat in
for a few days of fishing and picnicing. Public and state owned boat ramps are dispersed
around the lake and accomodate boats and jet skis from all over the southcentral U.S.
