Who’s ready for a patriotic 4th of July Boat Parade on Toledo Bend?

We’re excited to lead a fun-filled parade along the lake as we celebrate America’s 250th! You can ride the entire route with us or jump in anywhere along the way.

Boat lineup begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Pedleton Bridge and the parade starts at 10 a.m. Check out the route map, find your spot, and follow along as we cruise beautiful Toledo Bend together. The parade will end at Cypress Bend Park.

We can’t wait to see the lake filled with boats, flags, and patriotic spirit. Don’t forget to decorate your boat and show off your America 250 pride as we celebrate 250 years of freedom on the water!
