What to Know About Cherokee Area State Park
Cherokee Area State Park sits below the Pensacola Dam, providing access to some of Grand Lake's best striper fishing. The tailwater area below the dam is legendary for big striped bass, especially during spring and fall generation schedules when GRDA releases water.
The single concrete ramp is straightforward and well-maintained. Restrooms are available on site. This area sees a different crowd than the main-lake ramps — it's mostly serious anglers who know the striper patterns and time their trips around dam generation.
If you're targeting stripers or hybrid bass, this is your launch point. The water below the dam can be swift during generation, so know your boat's capabilities and check GRDA's generation schedule before heading out.
