Last year news from 42nd 2023 Jungle Boat Race 
After a whole week of rainy weather and high water level that  have threaten to postpone the race, everyone was elated to have a clear day with a 3.7' water level for the Jungle Boat Race on Sunday.  We had over 100 boats on the water and everyone who participated was in great spirit after paddling the 8-mile race from Byrd's Landing to Turner Bend.  It was a fun day here for everyone.  Tater, Mater & Squash Band was churning out some great music and the Mulberry River Society was serving hot corn chowder to the hungry crowd after the race. To cap off the race, Shawna Bell won the raffle ticket for the sit-on-top kayak with paddle and life-vest that was donated by Bill Spitler. Thanks everyone for being here and for your support in this fun event to kick off the floating season.
Below is the finished result of the race.  If you see any errors please let the store know.
HAPPY BOATING !
