Steamboat Rally 2023
 

Does anybody have any information on the Steamboat Rally that is held at Lees Mills?
i'd love to see the parade of boats.

It starts the Friday after Labor Day, so the first day will be the 8th.

Though there's almost always some boats out and about in the coves throughout the week, there are typically two "parades," one midday on the first Saturday (usually 2 o'clock) and one on the morning of the last Sunday (usually 10 o'clock).

The owners are super kind and, if you show up to Lees Mills, will often give rides.

The best place to observe is just outside Lees Mills (photo attached).

Keep a keen lookout—with the lake levels dropping, those northern rocks are continuing to remind slack boaters of their presence!

If you see Boatie Two, say hello.

If they have the parade to 19 Mile Bay and you hear what day it is, would you let me know?

I think the "long" trip that includes 19-Mile Bay is during the week, but I'll post any updates I hear!

Thank you. I think maybe it's on a Wednesday but not sure of that ????

A reminder for the second (and last) weekend to see these guys in '23!

Parade
 

Live near Lees' Mill. Believe the Parade was Saturday. Saw fewer boats this year. Did not see a Parade on Sunday as it has been in many years past.
