Imagine an afternoon excursion on a pontoon boat cruising beautiful Center Hill Lake in late October, the water reflecting the blue of the sky, and trees ablaze with color along the banks. This is the idyllic scenario that has inspired the Annual Fall Color Cruise sponsored by the Friends of Edgar Evins State Park, and park employees for 15 years. No one can guarantee perfect weather every year but we can anticipate everyone having a good time!
This will be the 15th year of this popular annual event on Sat., Oct. 28th from 1 p.m. to about 4 p.m. Seats are $15 per person. Sorry, no children under age 3 are allowed for safety reasons. Report to the marina dock at 1 p.m. to check in prior to boarding the boats.
Online reservations open Oct. 1st. Go to www.foeesp.com/color-cruise to make reservations. Both Visa or Master Card are accepted. If you need help you may call the park office ( 931) 858-2114 or toll free at 800-250-8619 for contact information for Fount Bertram, President of Friends of Edgar Evins State Park.
