Residents and visitors will have the opportunity to explore several popular destinations around Tim’s Ford Lake during an upcoming marina tour event featuring food, shopping, and waterfront attractions.
The 2026 Poker Run on Tim’s Ford Lake will take participants to five different stops as they seek to build the best five-card poker hand before time runs out. The prize for first place is $500 cash.
Participants can begin at any of five designated stops, with registration opening at 9:30 a.m. Organizers encourage attendees to visit each location throughout the day, enjoying lunch, desserts, drinks, and shopping opportunities along the route.
The featured stops include:
- Holiday Landing Marina and Bluegill Grill, located at 912 Old Awalt Road in Tullahoma
- Tim’s Ford Marina and Amigos on the Dock, located at 175 Marina Lane in Winchester
- Twin Creeks Marina and Drafts & Watercrafts, located at 91 Slip-A-Way in Winchester
- Lakeview Marina, located at 1439 Tims Ford Drive in Winchester
- Tim’s Ford Bass Club, also located at 1439 Tims Ford Drive in Winchester
Attendees can travel between the marinas at their own pace while experiencing the unique dining, entertainment, and recreational offerings available around the lake. Event organizers say the tour is designed to highlight local businesses and encourage residents and tourists alike to discover what the Tims Ford Lake area has to offer.
Participants must return their completed materials to the Tims Ford Bass Club by 2:30 p.m. to conclude the event.
The marina tour is expected to bring together boating enthusiasts, lake visitors, and local families for a day of exploration and community engagement around one of Middle Tennessee’s premier recreational destinations.
