Q: What is this boat Poker Run all about?

A: A boat poker run is an event where the participants go from one designated Lake Lanier marina on the lake to another by boat. At each stop they will pick up a playing card until they have completed all of the stops and have five cards. When they return to the “Casino” at Landshark Landing the poker hands are evaluated then scored. The best poker hand wins the Grand Prize. The poker run cards are in sealed envelopes and are not to be opened until the player returns to the Casino. Our event is “Pirate” themed, and we give out trophies to the best “Pirate” dressed boats and crews. This will be our 13th year of this event on Lake Lanier and each year gets bigger and better. For 2022 we have added a special boat viewing of classic wooden boats from the Antique & Classic Boat Society. We expect about 20 classic wooden boats to view on Friday and Saturday on the A Dock at Landshark Landing. The purpose of the event is to have fun while raising hundreds of thousands of charitable dollars to help local children in need. Come and join the fun, while lending a helping hand to kids in need.
