i dont own a bike, so that makes boat the only way. is there anywhere to launch around there? how about hotels for the night?

yep....its a little over an hour from Toronto.....everything shows up there.....pontoon boats to 160mph.....the run is 115 miles long......great time

i dont even think my boat has a 115 mile range!

gas is available at various card stops onthe run.......no prob

get your buddy RHR to bring his Skater......burn his gas. LOL!

This year will be the first Bruce Nicole Memorial Rice Lake Charity Poker Run in honour of our friend Brucie. We lost Putz to brain cancer earlier this year Bruce was the heart and sole of this event for 18 years. Please do come and honour his efforts by supporting the Children's Wish Foundation and having a great time doing so.

Now, as to what kind of boats show up? STV's, Hydrostreams, J crafts, Ciggies, Eliminators, Nor Techs,Outer Limits, Scarabs, you name it, its there. 40mph to 150 mph beasts. We average 50 boats for this event every year. Cheap to enter. Great run for the boats and the party atmosphere and commaraderie is second to none. There's a reason this event has happened every year since 1989. The attendees love it. Multiple speed groups. Very knowledgable group lead boats and strict no f'in around or drinking rules make it a very safe and fun event.

Best poker run in Canada IMHO and I have definately been to loads of them. Matter of fact, I have done Rice Lake 16 times. Missed it twice due to medical reasons or I would have a perfect attendance record.

The length of the run averages around 100 miles, some years a little longer, some a little shorter. Fuel is available at the start, lunch, second card stop, 4th card stop so range isn't really a problem.

The run up and down the infamous Ottonabe river is worth the price of admission alone right guys?

"The River" is the best part of the actual run, what is it 30 mi in total?....one after another hard lefts and rights at speed following this lazy river its pretty awesome.......and the support from the local cottagers along the whole run is pretty amazing too, their all right into it, waving and cheering, cottage after cottage the whole way...pretty cool

do all my boating on st. lawrence, kingston to prescott. family been on us side of st lawrence river since 1810. good times.
