For Spectators:  To view the races – standing on the bridge is the only place accessible to general fans/spectators.  There is no room for seats on the bridge.  Bring chairs to sit at the park if desired – the best place to see the race is on the bridge – again standing room only.
Bathroom Facilities:  There are restrooms available inside the Lake Samish Park lodge and at Camp Lutherwood.  The Lake Samish Park lodge is a great place to get warm if weather is a bit tough (let’s hope not).
Weather issues:  We will have tents set-up at both ends of the bridge, which can be used by spectators to stay dry (if needed).
