Visit the Grand Lake O' The Cherokees for 46,500 surface acres of water sports fun. Located on the Grand (Neosho) River in northeastern Oklahoma, guests can devote a whole weekend to lake explorations or stick to its 1,300 miles of shoreline. Anglers are sure to have a blast searching for largemouth bass, white bass, crappie, channel catfish, bluegill and the rare paddlefish on Grand Lake waters. The Snowdale Recreation area has easy-access shoreline areas, and many private resorts operate fishing dock concessions. Hunters can head instead to the Spavinaw Hills Game Management Area during special deer hunting seasons.

Whether docking a boat year-round or looking to rent boating equipment for the weekend, head to Grand Lake O' The Cherokees' exceptional recreational facilities at five nearby state parks and more than a dozen other privately operated facilities. Adrenaline junkies can hit the lake for parasailing and wakeboarding adventures. Off the lake, Grand Lake O' The Cherokees offers plenty of relaxing resorts and lakeside marina restaurants for shoreside entertainment.
