• Where can I Park?
•  Monroe St. Parking Garage. Parking is $12 (see directions below.)
• Can we bring our own food?
•  Catering and beverage packages are available but you are also welcome to bring snacks.
• What should I wear/bring.
•  Dressing in layers is recommended, especially in the early spring or late fall when you can expect the temperature on the water to be 10 to 15 degrees below the land temperature. Sunscreen and sunglasses are very important in the summer. Remember that the sun reflects off the water and can cause sunburn if you are not protected. A waterproof jacket or windbreaker is a good idea in case the weather changes. If you plan on swimming bring a suit and towel. Light soled closed-toed shoes are recommended. Sandals will also work but offer less protection. Ladies, for your protection and comfort, no high heels.
