Shop boats, tackle, and gear at Grand Lake
Four-day outdoor expo with boats, tackle, hunting gear, seminars, and dog-jumping shows at Wolf Creek Expo Center in Grove.
Event details
Grand Lake’s biggest winter expo takes over the Wolf Creek Expo Center in Grove with rows of boats, tackle displays, hunting gear, and outdoor brands all competing for your attention. The three-day show (typically late January or early February) draws anglers, hunters, and boaters ready to browse new models, attend seminars from pros, and watch crowd-favorite events like dock-jumping retriever demonstrations. Admission runs around $8 for adults, with kids often free, and parking is plentiful at the expo center.
Families enjoy the mix of hands-on activities and the chance to see boats up close without dealership pressure, while serious anglers come for one-on-one time with guides who know Grand Lake’s structure and seasonal patterns. Plan on 2-3 hours minimum if you want to hit the seminars, watch the dog shows, and actually talk to vendors about electronics, rods, or boat upgrades.
Arrive when doors open (usually 10 AM) to beat the weekend crowds and claim front-row spots at popular seminars that fill fast. Dress in layers since the expo hall can swing between chilly and warm depending on crowd size. Make it a full weekend by booking a lakefront rental on Lake.com near Monkey Island or Disney, where you can test new lures on the water Saturday morning before heading back to the show, then spend Sunday exploring quiet coves by boat or kayak.
