About Grand Lake O the Cherokees
If you're in search of lake homes for sale in Oklahoma, look to Grand Lake o' the Cherokees. Grand Lake o' the Cherokees is known by locals simply as “Grand Lake,” and it is commonly identified by its prized Depression-era structure, the 51-arch Pensacola Dam. In addition to boasting a fully-functioning architectural marvel, Grand Lake stands out as offering some of the finest sailing, bass fishing, and Ozark Mountain landscapes in the region. It's no surprise, then, that many lake goers have been known to call Grand Lake o' the Cherokees home.
IGrand Lake o' the Cherokees spans 64 miles and is situated in Green County, in northeast Oklahoma. This lake is one of the few rocky lakes in the state. 1,300 miles of irresistible shoreline wrap and weave around the foothills of the great Ozarks. Speckled with lakefront properties, resorts, and restaurants, Grand Lake's beaches also call to anglers and water enthusiasts. Bass fishing is especially popular on Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, which hosts over 400 fishing tournaments each year. Don't worry about baiting up on a cold day, either—you're sure to stay nice and toasty on the heated, enclosed docks as you hunt for catfish, bluegill, spoonbill, and crappie.
ISince it's ideally located near the borders of Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas, Grand Lake o' the Cherokees attracts water recreation lovers from far and wide. Sail boaters are particularly fond of the lake's winds due to the lake's northeast-by-southwest orientation. And with 46,500 acres of surface water to navigate, no one can resist the urge to make a splash. Lake properties for sale not only feature the water-front views, but also provide access to more than thirty marinas that line the shoreline.
IFor a truly leisurely lake experience, charter a private yacht to show you around.
