About South Grand Lake

South Grand Lake is a thriving residential and recreational area on the southern end of Grand Lake O The Cherokees. Just an hour northeast of Tulsa, the area stretches from Duck Creek through Ketchum, Langley, and across Pensacola Dam to Disney.

The crown jewel is Pensacola Dam — the longest multiple-arch dam in the world. Below the dam, find world-class rock crawling in Disney, eagle watching at GRDA's Eagle Pass, and excellent fishing during paddlefish snagging season.
