Parking is going to be slightly differnt this year. The lower lot is going to be for shell trailers and tow vehicles only. The two lots marked "Open Parking" are athlete and spectator parking, however, if you get there later, you may need to park in the overflow parking lot. Overflow parking will be across the street at Geiss Soccer parking. It will be about a 25 min walk from that site to the regatta site. Parenst, you are more than welcome to drop off your rower then go to the overflow parking area.
