Grand Lake

Fishing

Grand Lake has gained a reputation as one of the world’s best fishing lakes. This reputation is growing thanks in part to the lake hosting the B.A.S.S. Elite Series tournaments for two consecutive years, 2006 and 2007.

These pro tournaments have been televised on ESPN2 world-wide.

Mike McClelland won in 2006 with 79 pounds 7 ounces and Kevin VanDam needed 78 pounds 2 ounces to come in first in 2007. Each man walked away with the $100,000 check and Sooner Run tournament trophy.

Because of the ongoing work of the Grand River Dam Authority Office of Eco Systems Management the lake fishery is thriving. GRDA has stepped up their conservation efforts with the planting of aquatic vegetation and the creation of artificial habitat. They are also actively working with all the fish-

ing tournaments held on the lake so that conservation efforts will return healthy fish back to the water for future anglers to catch.

Grand Lake is home to white, spotted, small and large mouth bass.

You’ll also find bluegill, spoonbill and channel catfish along with the white crappie occupying the waters.

More than one fishing show a month features the lake, and Grand claims some expert fishing guides who are willing to share their excitement in catching fish with visitors, residents and the professionals who

Route 66 & I-44 Two roads, two different styles, but both leading you to fun and relaxation. Route 66 is the Mother Road. For decades Route 66 was the road most traveled by those looking to head west to find their fortune or a new life.

Oklahoma has more of Route 66 than any state and there are still plenty of great things to see. From the Coleman Theatre in Miami, to historic Afton, to the second oldest Oklahoma town, Vinita, there are lots of things to see on Route 66.

Just outside of Miami is the last section of the original nine foot wide “Ribbon Road” that is listed as an Oklahoma National Historic Landmark. Although a part of the Historic

Highway, this section predates Route 66, having been built in the early 1920’s. Legend has it that when the road was built, Oklahoma’s budget was tight, so rather than covering half the mileage, they covered half the width. This remarkable piece of vintage pavement zigzags for 13 miles between Miami and Afton.

Another small section of the original road also lies farther south in Narcissa. And if you’re lucky, you might

catch a classic car or motorcycle cruising the Mother Road. Or better yet, you might be driving one.

I-44 is the Interstate that takes travelers all around the country with a little quicker pace. But don’t let the speed fool you. You can exit at several locations and see the great sites all around Grand Lake. And why you’re on I-44, visit the World’s Largest McDonald’s.

Afton Afton was founded in 1886. It got its name from Afton Aires, the daughter of a Scottish railroad surveyor. The surveyor named his daughter after the Afton River in his native Scotland. Afton began its life as a farming and railroad center. Make sure you bring a camera, because in the small area that comprises downtown Afton, there is a lot of classic Route 66 roadside architecture, in varying degrees of preservation. An old DX station has been restored and functions as an informal museum and hospitality stop for Route 66 travelers.

If you are eastbound on 66, consider taking at least one of the two stretches of nine-foot “Sidewalk Highway” that zigzag between Afton and Miami. The second leg turnoff is a mile north of Narcissa.

Kansas Legend has it that a man of small stature who came to nearby Siloam Springs, Arkansas, by train from Kansas City, Kansas, rented a shack and stocked it with light household goods, pots and pans, bolts of cloth, sewing machine parts and needles, etc. He drove out into Indian Territory and stopped at the farm homes along the way. When in the Kansas area, he always camped out at the spring on Spring Creek just under the hill just south and west of the present town site and south of the present Scenic U.S. 412. Because the Indians in the area could not pronounce his name, everybody just called him Little Kansas City. Thus, the town of Kansas was named for this unknown, but well remembered man. He may have been the first merchant in what is now Kansas, and the town is called “Little Kansas” by many of its residents.

Quapaw Quapaw is named for the Quapaw Indians, who were removed from Arkansas to Oklahoma, then known as Indian Territory. The name is derived from “Ugakhpa,” a tribal term for “downstream people.” About 100 years ago, the town became a part of the Tri-State Mining area. The northeast corner of Oklahoma, the southeast corner of Kansas, and the southwest corner of Missouri were huge producers of lead and zinc.

When Route 66 was in built in the 1920s they started in Los Angeles and Chicago and the place where they met was in Quapaw.

The Spooklight • This unexplained phenomenon has been attracting visitors since 1866 and has created such a mystery that even the Army Corps of Engineers officially concluded that it was a “mysterious light of unknown origin.” People come from far and near for their chance at this experience. The road is located near the Devil’s Promenade Area which is located in Ottawa County. It is also referred to as Spooklight Road. It is near Quapaw, Oklahoma.

Salina The city of Salina was founded in 1796 and is the oldest permanent American settlement in the state of Oklahoma. The name Salina was derived from saline, which came from the local salt wells in the vicinity.

Salina sits on beautiful Lake Hudson, and the surrounding environment is lush with native plants, wildflowers, and trees. The dense deciduous forests prevalent in this region provide a safe and natural habitat for the abundance of wildlife that can still be found. The terrain is very hilly, and somewhat mountainous, and is considered to be a part of the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.

West Siloam Springs A section of the Ozarks stretches across the border into Oklahoma, giving the eastern part of the state beautiful mountains and rolling hills. Natural Falls State Park is located in this area and offers visitors the chance to explore some of the most scenic county in the state.

Located just across the state line from the growing Northwest Arkansas metropolitan area is a remarkable 77-foot waterfall. Originally called Dripping Springs by local residents, the waterfall has been an object of admiration for many years. If it looks familiar to you, one possible reason is that it was a featured backdrop in the popular 1974 movie, Where the Red Fern Grows.

The new Cherokee Casino West Siloam Springs boasts a 200,000 plus sq. ft. gaming floor and a spacious food court and an 8-story, resort-style hotel.
