04/20/2026

Episode 3 of Diving In is all about Grand Lake. Lee Keaser sits down with Brian Miller of the Lake Improvement Association for a conversation about the lake’s past, present, and future. From growing up at his family’s marina to serving as former manager of Grand Lake St. Marys State Park, Brian brings a lifetime of knowledge and a real passion for this region.

They talk about the role of the LIA, the impact of its 1,500 members, new projects like the West Bank playground and shelter house, and the all abilities playground coming to the East Bank. The conversation also tackles the tough stuff, including water quality, public perception, and the work being done to share factual information backed by science.

And yes, they also get into the fun side of lake life too, including crappie fishing, bass tournaments, the Bar Stool Open, and the Handicapped Kids Fishing Derby.

If you care about Grand Lake, this is a great listen.
