We held our first ever Kid’s Fishing Derby on Free Fishing Weekend, helping teach a new generation to fish! We had winners in three age categories for biggest fish, for most fish caught. All of the participants came away with a trophy or door prize! A big thank you to Kathy Thebo and team for putting this together for our community. There were lots of smiles and fun fish tales!

We had local businesses donate bait, hats, fishing tackle, and fishing poles.

Fourth of July Activities

Kid’s Parade-July 4th @ 11am

Start and finish at the “Y” on Causeway. Decorate those bikes, trikes, and whatever comes to mind! Everyone is invited to participate, kids will receive a glow necklace at the end of the parade. *Directories will also be available at the parade*

Ice Cream Trucks

The Ice cream trucks will be part of the parade, and will begin their routes around the lake immediately after the parade. You can pick up your tickets at the “Y” starting one hour before the parade until it starts. *Tickets only valid on the 4th of July*

Luminaries around the Lake

Watch for your local MLA board member to drop off luminary boxes, and candles for you to place down along your lakefront. We want to light up the lake! We hope this can become a new Murray Lake Tradition!

Take a Lighted Tour

Hang some lights on your boat, garland on your pontoon, or any other decoration that helps make the 4th of Julyfun and festive! Cruise around the lake for all to see as you enjoy our lit-up shorelines! We suggest you start your cruise at 9:30pm. Don’t forget your camera!
