Boat docks near Ketchum

Ketchum is a small town of 471 people (2020 census) in the southeast corner of Craig County, with part of town reaching into Mayes County. It sits beside a small arm of Grand Lake, and State Highway 85 runs northeast from town along the lake toward Bernice. The town has its own lake history: its original site on the Grand River was later covered by Grand Lake after Pensacola Dam was built.

What do owners around Ketchum ask for?

• Docks designed for coves where the one-third reach limit is tight
• Relocating docks to deeper water at the end of a shallowing arm
• Fishing-boat and pontoon lifts
• Walkway and anchor repairs after storms

Narrow arms and the one-third rule

Many lake homes along this stretch sit on arms and coves rather than the open lake. GRDA measures the one-third limit across the cove from the 745-foot Pensacola Datum line, so a narrow cove can shorten how far your dock is allowed to reach. A survey up front shows what's possible before you fall in love with a design.
