Boat take-out, pick-up, and trailer parking
How do we get off the river, how do I pickup my boat / homemade raft, where can I park w/ my boat trailer???
The boat ramp at West Festival Park is the ending point for the Raft Race. All boats, Kayaks / Canoes included, use the boat ramp to exit the water.
At the top of the boat ramp there is a gate that enters the adjacent property to the South which is a concrete plant. We use the concrete plant yard for easy access for boat pickup.
All homemade rafts, canoes, and kayaks are taken into the concrete plant to allow the owners to pickup then. The vehicle entrance to the concrete plant is only accessible from 23rd st turning North into the plant.
TRAILER PARKING : All boat / raft trailers are to park in the Riverside Skate Park Lot. It is on the South side of 23rd st across from the concrete plant. This makes for easy Raft Pick-up as you can exit the skate park lot, and drive directly across 23rd st into the concrete plant where your boat will be waiting.
