The community does not have all-weather road access; rather the community relies on ice roads in the winter and the lake-river system in the summer.

In the 2006 census, Granville Lake had a population of 98 living in 16 dwellings, a 42.0% increase from 2001. At that time, the settlement had a land area of 2.33 km2 (0.90 sq mi) and a population density of 42.0/km2 (109/sq mi).[1] In 2011, its population dropped to just 10 inhabitants,[2] as the community shifted to Leaf Rapids.[4]
