This vibrant lakeside town rests on the shores of Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, the state's largest lake, making it a haven for water enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Kick off an exploration through Grove with a visit to the Har-Ber Village Museum.

Beyond the museum walls, Grove's natural beauty takes center stage. Embark on a scenic boat cruise on Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, the crown jewel of the region. Marvel at the vast expanse of shimmering water, framed by lush green hills and towering trees. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles soaring overhead or playful otters frolicking near the shore. Rent a jet ski for an adrenaline rush or a kayak for a peaceful exploration of hidden coves. For a unique perspective, hop on a historic paddlewheel boat, the Grand Lake Queen, and enjoy a narrated cruise while soaking in the stunning scenery.

For a dose of artistic inspiration, head to the delights of Grove's downtown cultural district. Browse unique handcrafted souvenirs at local art galleries, or be captivated by a live performance at the beautifully restored Grove Theater. This historic landmark, originally built in the 1920s, now showcases a variety of productions, from heartwarming musicals to thought-provoking plays. In the evenings, grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants lining Main Street, offering everything from classic American fare to delicious local specialties.
