GETTING THERE & PARKING

Parking is always a challenge for Englishman River Falls Park on race day.  Please consider carpooling and parking considerately.  Leaving large gaps between your landspeeders (aka cars) means someone else may not be able to park.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE CAMPGROUND PARKING LOT OR ALONG THE ROAD WITHIN THE PARK BOUNDARY. PARK IN THE DAY USE  LOT AT THE END OF THE ROAD.

For safety reasons, BC Parks requests that participants use the service road to access the staging area by bike, so please observe all directional signage.
