Just as it has been a steward of the resources of the Grand River since 1935, the Grand River Dam Authority is now proud to have extended that mission to the scenic Illinois River. Since the July 2016 merger with the Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission, GRDA has been committed to managing, patrolling and caring for these picturesque waters that not only support a thriving recreation and tourism industry but also provide a beautiful backdrop for thousands and thousands of river enthusiasts each year.
