South Grand Lake Regional Airport
What was once a humble hayfield with only a few run-down hangars has transformed into South Grand Lake's vital transportation and economic hub. Today, the South Grand Lake Regional Airport stands as a testament to the hard work, determination, and community support that has turned a simple grass strip into a fully operational, state-of-the-art airport serving both personal and business aviation.
Thanks to the contributions of local lake organizations, the town of Ketchum, and the airport's dedicated volunteers, including the Girlfriends of the Airport, the airport has undergone significant upgrades. With the addition of an asphalt runway, the airport now offers full-service facilities for both prop and jet aircraft, meeting the needs of aviators and visitors alike.
The airport is a key gateway for travelers looking to visit the Grand Lake area, extending the region’s reach beyond the typical driving radius. By attracting visitors who would otherwise not have considered traveling to the area, the airport is helping to drive economic growth and tourism, with an estimated annual economic impact of $2.5 million.
Future plans for the airport are even more exciting, with the development of new features that will make it an even more significant asset for the region. Coming soon are several major improvements, including the installation of an AWOS III (Automated Weather Observation System), aviation light industrial development, a new terminal building, expanded parking apron, and a parallel taxiway.
The community's ongoing support is crucial to the success of the airport. If you're interested in contributing or have any questions or suggestions, please reach out to Brent Howard at 918-693-1855.
South Grand Lake Regional Airport continues to grow, and its role in connecting the Grand Lake area to the broader world has never been more vital. Stay tuned for more developments as this essential community asset continues to soar.

With this convenient setup, you can take control of your fishing schedule and make the most of your time on the lake.
Rich History and Future Development
Located at 1563 NW 110th Street, Groveport Resort is proudly situated at the “Gateway to Grove.” The area around Wolf Creek is known for its exceptional bass fishing, making it a favored spot among local anglers.
Purchased in 2021, the resort underwent extensive renovations to enhance its facilities while preserving its historical significance. The original structure was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and once housed the Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA). We took great care in gutting the building down to the studs, breathing new life into this historic site while retaining its charm.
Looking ahead, we have exciting plans for the future of Groveport Resort. An on-site swimming pool and various landscaping projects are currently in the works, as well as the addition of a new 10-slip dock to accommodate our guests’ boating needs.
