Annual Iron Oars Regatta or Lake Superior Exhibition 2024

We have hosted 14 annual regattas on beautiful Teal Lake in Negaunee, MI. After a 2 year break due to COVID, we came back with an exhibition event on Lake Superior in 2023. Since 2024 we are back to Teal Lake for the racing action! U.P. Rowing is hosting its 16th annual Iron Oars Regatta Scrimmage on the east end of Teal Lake in August 2025. The events will include rowers from our local community club, and other clubs from around the region. Racers will be on the water approximately 8:30 to noon, racing the 1000 meter course head to head in a sprint race. Spectators will be able to watch the action for free. Bring a Chair and a pair of binoculars and catch the action!
