Pomfret School Crew Because there is limited parking at the lake, we ask that you dispense the following information and directions to all spectators from your school who will be attending the race. It is important that you follow through on this because it is confusing, inconvenient, and frustrating for spectators who try to get out to the lake, only to be turned away and given directions back to our campus for parking. Well marked spectator parking will be off the main street that goes through our campus (Routes 44/169). It will be in a field adjacent to our Lasell Alumni House, directly across from our main campus buildings. Continuous shuttle service will take spectators the four miles to and from the lake, starting at 1:15 and continuing over the course of the afternoon. Please note: The shuttle buses do not allow dogs.

All shell trailers should come through the stone pillar gates onto the property to unload boats. Team buses will park on the left side of the road preceding and up to the driveway entrance to our property. You can leave the vehicles parked there throughout the afternoon. There will be an area set aside for your slings inside our property leading down to the docks. Please inform your rowers that their parents are welcome to drop off coolers and supplies at the boathouse site, but they will have to drive back to campus to park their cars and take the shuttle buses back to the race site. We apologize for this inconvenience, but there just isn’t enough parking at the boathouse for spectator vehicles.
