Prior to parking and unloading of trailers, check-in with ORRA Spring Break
Coordinator or Oak Ridge RA’s Boathouse Manager is required. Contact numbers are
listed on the front door of Oak Ridge RAs boathouse. Response time will be within 20
min. Boat trailer parking will be along Houseboat Row. Do not block marked marina
resident parking. No long-term parking of trailers in main parking area in front of the
Oak Ridge RA’s Boathouse will be allowed. Please respect the neighboring restaurant
parking area, we have a good neighbor relationship and we would like to keep it.
Visiting crews store their shells in an open grassy area on the edge of a sheltered
embayment of the river. Security has never been a problem in the past and we
certainly hope that situation will continue through this spring training season. Boat
storage will be in the grass area to the southwest of the Boathouse. The grass field
along Melton Lake drive on the west bank of the embayment can become very wet
and soft. As a result, no truck and trailer traffic will be allowed in this area during
the Spring Break training period. Shells should be carried to this area and placed on
slings or stands. Please provide enough slings or stand for your equipment. Trash in
your area of boat storage needs to be policed daily. Trash cans will be provided.
The “Melton Lake Greenway” (walking path) that runs through the venue is
for citizens of Oak Ridge please be aware of their presence and leave room for
pedestrians to pass. Please keep shells at least 4 feet off greenway.
