As the sweet aroma of spring melds into the warmth of early summer, Memorial Day weekend beckons us to honor those who have served with a blend of reflection and celebration. Nestled along the serene banks of the lower Illinois River, Marval Resort offers an idyllic setting for families, friends, and solo adventurers alike to mark this solemn occasion amidst the beauty of nature in Gore, OK.
Planned Holiday Activities
A highlight of the weekend’s festivities is undoubtedly the Memorial Day Parade! Guests are invited to unleash their imagination by decorating their golf carts or bicycles in the most eye-catching, inventive, and perhaps even patriotic themes. As these mobile masterpieces travel throughout the resort, onlookers can revel in the spectacle, cheering on their favorites. Plus, participants are encouraged to bring along candy and small toys, transforming the parade into a delightful shower of treats and treasures. Prizes will be awarded for the best-decorated golf cart and bicycle.
Riverfront Fun
Known as the “Trout Capital of Oklahoma,” Gore is a sweet spot for anglers looking to reel in a big one. Novices and seasoned pros alike come with their tackle boxes and leave with stories of ‘the one that got away’ or, even better, ‘the monster trout that didn’t.’ Click here for our guide to fishing in the area.
State Park Adventures
