Dragon boating made its debut on Grand Lake on August 17, as the Phantom Dragons participated as a demonstration entry in this year’s Spirit of the Lake Regatta, part of Grand Lake’s “Crews and Brews” weekend events. Among other things, their dragon boat served as an escort for the kayak race between the Mayors of Grand Lake and Estes Park. Based on the response, dragon boats will most likely be back again next year – possibly with their own competitive division!
