Horseshoe Lake, a scenic oxbow lake located east of Hughes along the Great River Road, is ready to celebrate! Since late April, the lake has been back at its full level for the first time since 2005. At almost 3,000 acres, Horseshoe Lake is a popular fishing and boating destination for residents of the Arkansas Delta and the region. The town of Horseshoe Lake is hosting its annual Independence Day activities beginning on Friday, July 4. The day will start with a 5K run. Registration begins at 6:30 a.m. and the run starts at 7 a.m. at Bonds Marina. For those who prefer bicycling, the Tour de Horseshoe Bicycle Race will begin at 8:30 a.m. Both races give participants a great opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Horseshoe Lake.
On Saturday, July 5, activities and games will be held throughout the day at the Surf Club. A boat parade will start at 6:30 p.m. at Clyde’s Boat Ramp. As evening gives way to dark, the sky will light up with fireworks! According to Pat Bonds, Horseshoe Lake resident, the fireworks display will kick off right before 9 p.m.
