Lake Wentworth Boat Parade- July 4th, Independence Day!

Here’s your chance to showcase your creativity. Decorate your boat and yourselves and join lake friends in a parade around the lake.

Before leaving shore, photograph your boat and crew, and upload one picture to the specially-created 4th of July Boat Parade album on Facebook (available the day of the parade). Include the name of your entry (i.e. Triggs Island Loonies) and your name.  Facebook friends, including out of town friends, or anyone not ready to boat by Independence Day, can still participate by giving a like or love to the pictures – entries with the most likes by midnight on July 5^th, will be awarded bragging rights and have their picture featured in the next Zephyr!

Parade Details
Meet in front of Camp Bernadette at 3:00pm on July 3th for a 3:15pm start (please stay at least 150 feet away from the shore to keep campers safe).  An air horn will announce its time to line up and start the parade. The parade will be led by Captain Bob Spear in his Wentworth Tours & More boat. We will travel just over headway speed from the shores of Camp Bernadette clockwise around the lake. The exact route will be determined based on weather and how fast the parade proceeds. Canoers, kayakers, and paddleboarders are welcome to participate and boats may join or leave as they wish.

Make sure you have all the required safety equipment on board, especially PFD’s, and follow all safe boating practices and regulations. If your boat is registered out of state, be sure to have the required Invasive Species Decal displayed next to your registration sticker. (link to NH DES page)  Please maintain a distance of 50-75′ behind the boat in front of you. Don’t get too close, don’t fall behind, and be sure to watch out for non-motorized boats.

If the weather is poor, check the Association website or Facebook page for July 4^th rain date, same time.

Let’s all have a safe and fun 4^th of July in the Watershed!
