OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION
The land is owned and operated by GRDA (Grand River Dam Authority) and with their blessing we have made it home to NE Oklahoma's premier wheelin' spot.
Remember, you are playing in the flood zone from Grand Lake. They will blow a horn 30min before opening the gates. If flood conditions are possible, pay attention to activity around the dam. The horn will sound once, but may not sound again during the 30 minute wait! If you just arrived and you don't see anyone on the rocks, wait a while or flag down a GRDA or Park Ranger and check first. Also, there is access to the trails if the gates are open. However, be aware you may find yourself driving down a steep hill into a flooded valley. If there is water flowing, take a walk down the hill before you commit.
To check on the floodgates and lake level status before you leave, click here. http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/PENS.lakepage.html
NOTICE FROM GRDA:
Due to new "Homeland Security" measures, GRDA has asked that 4-wheel activity be limited in the spillways and the main dam areas. At this time they ask that no activity take place north of the electric line right-of-ways in these areas. You are still permitted in areas south of the right-of-ways.
