GRDA - Ecosystems and Education Center

Nestled along the scenic shores of Grand Lake—just an angler's cast away from the historic Pensacola Dam—the Grand River Dam Authority’s (GRDA) Ecosystems and Education Center stands as a testament to the authority's commitment to environmental stewardship and education. This state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in GRDA’s ongoing efforts to manage and protect the natural resources under its care. Extensive Natural Resources The GRDA oversees nearly 70,000 acres of lake water surface in Oklahoma, encompassing the vast expanses of Grand Lake, Lake Hudson, and the W.R. Holway Reservoir. Since 2016, its stewardship has also extended to the picturesque waters of the Illinois River. This extensive area is not only vital for recreational activities but also serves as an important habitat for various wildlife species. Advanced Water Quality Laboratory At the heart of the Ecosystems and Education Center is a state-of-the-art water quality laboratory. Here, GRDA's dedicated team members engage in ongoing water quality monitoring, ensuring the health and sustainability of the water resources. Regular testing and analysis enable the GRDA to maintain high standards of water quality, safeguarding both recreational users and the ecosystem. A One-Stop Resource for Lake Area Needs Beyond the laboratory, the Ecosystems and Education Center serves as a “one-stop permit shopping” location for lake area residents and visitors. Whether you are preparing to build a dock, an angler looking to schedule a tournament, or someone seeking lake-related permits for Grand Lake or Lake Hudson, the center offers the resources and assistance you need to navigate the permitting process smoothly. Community Engagement and Education One of the most significant features of the Ecosystems and Education Center is the Grand Hall, a spacious auditorium and community meeting area available for rental. This versatile space offers stunning views of Grand Lake and Pensacola Dam, making it an ideal venue for events and gatherings. Throughout much of the year, the Grand Hall also functions as a classroom for student groups. Here, learners engage in educational programs focused on various topics, including: Ecosystem Management: Understanding the delicate balance of local ecosystems. Hydroelectric Power: Exploring how the GRDA harnesses water power to generate electricity. Water and Electric Safety: Learning essential safety practices for interacting with water and electrical systems. History of the Grand River Region: Delving into the rich history and cultural significance of the area. The Grand River Dam Authority’s Ecosystems and Education Center is more than just a facility; it is a vital resource for the community, promoting education, sustainability, and responsible stewardship of Oklahoma’s natural resources. Whether you are a local resident, a visitor to the area, or a student eager to learn, the center offers invaluable services and knowledge to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the beautiful Grand Lake region.
