About Grand Lake Regional Airport
Grand Lake Regional Airport is a small public-use general aviation airport in northeastern Oklahoma, serving Afton and the Grand Lake o' the Cherokees area. It is privately owned and open to the public, located on Monkey Island, a peninsula along the northern shore of the lake.
The airport lies about 10 miles southeast of Afton in Delaware County and has a single concrete runway designated 17/35, measuring approximately 3,925 by 60 feet. First activated in June 1959, it operates without a control tower and primarily supports private and recreational flying rather than scheduled airline service.
Because of its lakeside setting, the airport is a convenient access point for visitors heading to Grand Lake resorts, marinas, and nearby communities such as Afton and Grove. Ground connections rely mainly on private vehicles, rental cars, and pre-arranged transfers.
Passenger facilities remain simple, with aircraft parking and tiedowns but no commercial terminal, fuel service, or customs processing on site. Travelers can find dining, lodging, and other services in the surrounding lake communities.
