Stand Up Paddleboard Category added to Jungle Boater Race

Due to overwhelming demand, well actually two requests, we have added a SUP class to the Jungle Boater Race scheduled for Sunday March 10th. Watching them get under the Low Water Bridge might be the highlight of the day.

Mulberry River Level at Turner Bend is 7.2

The river crested around 11' about dark yesterday. We have had over 5" of rain and are glad we did not get any more. We still can't get the water level to upload on our website for some unknown reason.

Indian Creek access on the Mulberry is now open for use. The site is located midway between High Bank and Byrd's. There is a small turn around with a footpath leading down to the river. There is also a small parking area off to the side. Plans for a nice set of steps down to the river were cancelled...
