Wooden boats on display during Thunder Run

Every Sunday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Wawasee Wooden Boats sponsors a wooden boat parade known as the Thunder Run. Anyone with a wooden boat is welcome to join the parade. It starts at 10 a.m. at Oakwood Pier, 702 E. Lake View Road, Syracuse.

These are rain or shine events. It takes approximately 40 minutes to go around the lake. The boats will run counterclockwise at around 20 mph and will remain 20 to 30 feet from the buoys.

In addition, the group’s recently established Chris-Craft Boat Club will meet Sunday evenings at the Spink Condo, 12275 N. Ogden Point Road.

On a given Sunday, the Thunder Run has had anywhere from 10 to 36 wooden boats participating. At times, the parade of boats has been more than a mile long.

This is the 10th year for the Thunder Runs. Anyone with questions about the Thunder Runs, email wawaseewoodenboats@ gmail.com or visit the Wawasee Wooden Boats Facebook page.
