Boaters chase poker tokens across Greers Ferry Lake
An open-to-the-public boating poker run links four Greers Ferry Lake stops before cards, prizes, food, and a marina gathering on summer water.
Event details
Boaters spread across Greers Ferry Lake during the Fairfield Bay Yacht Club Poker Run, collecting tokens at Fairfield Bay, Sugar Loaf, Eden Isle, and Shiloh marinas before returning to Fairfield Bay Marina, where each token becomes a card draw. A raffle and barbecue keep the competition relaxed rather than cutthroat for newcomers and members alike.
Families with boating experience can treat the run as a full-lake tour with a light game layered on top, an easy way to show children different corners of the reservoir in a single afternoon of travel. The $10 entry per hand keeps the event accessible for casual participants alongside serious yacht club members.
Arriving with time to launch, fuel, and settle in before the day begins makes for a smoother morning on the water. A marina slip, lake rental, or nearby condo simplifies the post-run gathering, and packing sun protection and life jackets for younger passengers is essential. Leave Sunday open for one more relaxed cruise across Greers Ferry Lake before heading home, giving the whole family one final unhurried look at the coves and marinas explored the day before.
