The Oak Ridge RAs programs will use the space for their afternoon junior and masters programs. Guest crews may not store their shells or oars inside the ORRA boathouse. Small items like cox boxes or rigging chests can be accommodated inside the boathouse. Oak Ridge RAs Erg room equipment is for the exclusive use of Oak Ridge RA membership. This equipment is not available for visiting crew use. The Oak Ridge RAs Erg room is equipped with video equipment to watch video. This equipment may be used if coordinated with Boathouse Manager. The Ergs in this room should be stood and stored during this time.
Do not stop busses in front of the Boathouse/ restaurant. Bus parking and drop off area is located in the back of the main parking lot close to the playground area. Please respect the restaurant parking area, we have a good neighbor relationship and we would like to keep it.
(The docks are numbered from east to west)
