Looking to stretch your legs and soak in some fresh lake air? Grand Lake’s north-end trails are calling. The Culbute Heights circle route and the Lac‑de‑la‑Montagne out‑and‑back offer beautiful views, peaceful forest paths, and the perfect excuse to lace up your boots. A brand‑new dock was installed this summer (2026), making trail access even easier for hikers arriving by water. Grab your gear, breathe in the pines, and download the trail map before you head out.

The Grand Lake Association cottage map –– shows the locations of all cottages on Grand, Green, and Dam Lakes. It summarizes important Boating Guidelines (including speed restrictions, guidelines for wake boat use, and milfoil areas to avoid). The cottage map was published in the 2020-2022 Grand Lake Members' Directory, and can be downloaded below. We hope our members will find this to be a useful resource for navigating our lake, and for connecting with friends and neighbours

The winning boat sporting a loon on top, a moose in front and numerous maple leafs! Thanks to everyone who came out to participate in this year’s Canada Day flotilla — what an incredible turnout. More than 60 watercraft joined the parade, with boats carrying anywhere from two to ten people. The creativity was on full display: mini slides, inflatable animals incorporated into boat designs, and giant Canada Day flags flying proudly from tall poles. It was a tough call for the j
