There is sometimes limited free parking near the boathouse but be prepared to walk with your gear about 1/2 mile.

Dogs are not allowed in the park for this event.
Food
We are arranging food for this event potluck style. Please see the sign up genius and bring what you can! We are trying this out, and so bring backup snacks in case we get quantities wrong. Without a signup hard to predict numbers.
