Boat docks in Grove

Grove is the largest town on the lake, with 6,956 residents at the 2020 census. It sits on the east side of Grand Lake in northern Delaware County. US-59 crosses the main channel of the Neosho River on the north side of town over the Sailboat Bridge, a four-lane span a little over 3,000 feet long, and Honey Creek State Park offers camping and boat access on the town's lake frontage.

What do Grove-area owners usually need?

• Multi-slip floating docks for families with a ski boat and a couple of jet skis
• Lifts for wake boats and pontoons
• Encapsulated float swaps on older docks
• Composite decking on docks that get heavy summer use

Busy water near town

The lake around Grove is a summer magnet, and visitors pour in between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Docks facing open water near the bridge and main channel take more wake than docks in quiet coves, which affects anchoring, walkway hinges and how lifts are set. Tell the builder which way your shoreline faces and how much traffic passes.

Permits

Grove docks go through GRDA like every other private dock on the lake. Start with the survey and drawings; the contractor can help assemble them.
