54 TULSA VISITOR’S GUIDE SPRING/SUMMER 2014 55 A summer day on Grand Lake For over 70 years, Oklahomans have enjoyed the water playgrounds created by GRDA’s hydroelectric facilities. Grand Lake, Lake Hudson and W.R. Holway Reservoir offer not only beautiful scenery but also wide open waters for boating, skiing, swimming, fishing or just playing. At no cost to Oklahoma taxpayers (not even a daily access fee) GRDA manages, patrols, monitors and cares for these waters which support a thriving recreation and tourism industry and a broad tax base around the shoreline. In other words, play time is beneficial to all of Oklahomans. That’s the “power of power” at GRDA.

Learn more about GRDA and read POWER The Power of Power book at www.grda.com. PLAY
