The drive to Lake Natoma takes about an hour and a half in light Sunday traffic. Parking is available at the site and costs $7.
Here are some rules from the Park brochure:
* Drinks in plastic bottles only.
* Dogs must be on leash at all times.
* No swimming near the racecourse or by the boat launching areas.
This is by far the best spectator venue of the racing season, with a long sandy beach opposite the finish line and a level bike/walk trail all the way to the start line. The yellow BHS Crew banner will be on our tent so our viewing area should be easy to find. You should bring folding chairs for the beach area and the weather report so far is for mild temperatures and cloudy. As usual, pack enough food for your family as the team will be providing food for the rowers and coxswains only.
The race should be over at about 1pm and then the team must be driven back to JLAC for mandatory boat unloading and rerigging. Team should be released from JLAC by 4pm.

Race times and lane assignments have been posted: Download them here (pdf, 52KB). Remember, these may change. There will be printed schedules at the race.
The drive takes about an hour in the very early morning and can take about an hour and a half in the afternoon depending on traffic.
It is possible that the weather will be rainy on Saturday. The teams will still be racing if it is rainy, but would stop if the wind gets strong. The coaches will decide as the race day proceeds. It would be a good idea to pack some towels and a spare outfit for team members to wear home in case they get really wet. Wearing JLs under uniforms is recommended as well.
The racecourse does not have a large viewing area and families should bring folding chairs, and of course given the weather, should dress for rain. Parents should look for the yellow crew banner which will be on the tents by the food table. Food will be provided only to the team at the food tents so families should bring food and drinks for themselves. Photographers should bring their cameras.
