A short briefing with a representative of the Department of Natural Resources follows at 9:45 AM, after which boats head out.
Players follow their maps to specified locations around the lake where they pick up a playing card.
During the day explore the lake, enjoy a delicious cook-out on Goat Island prepared by Aubri Lane's at The Club, meet new friends, and learn some interesting history.
Between 2:00 and 3:00 PM, players return to Dennis Station where they reveal their cards. Five-card Poker Rules apply, and the best poker hands will win $1000 for first prize and a second prize of $500.
