Grand Lake is unique in the area for having many islands scattered throughout the lake, which extends 12 miles, north to south.

Fishing is good with species such as perch, walleye, northern pike and small-mouth bass to be found in the coves, drop-offs and bays. Swimming, boating, sailing or spending the weekend at the "sandies" are some of the summertime activities. In Winter, there's always good ducking hunting and ice fishing.
