Pet Friendly Reminder

Although Grider Hill is a pet friendly facility we would like to remind our customers that you are responsible for cleaning up your pet's mess and that all pets must be on a leash.
 
Please respect your fellow boaters and don't be the cause of someone's crappy day!

Quiet Time Reminder

Quiet time starts at 12:00 AM CST every night including weekends.  The party doesn't have to stop but please respect your fellow boaters and keep the noise down.
