DETAILS ;
Point Pleasant Fire Company will be running the parking concession at the take out again this year, and monies collected will go towards Our Point Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department, as well as maintenance costs for staging this event at River Country. ( Located about one half mile downstream of the new bridge, on to Bucks County River Country's Parking lot area).
PRICING FOR THE EVENT -
1. - The parking fee for the weekend that includes camping is $20, $20 if you are camping, or not
as the money goes to Our Volunteer Fire Department and to cover event costs, clean-up, Porta-potties, Changing rooms and organization costs. Electric power, and other resources are provided for the food and other vendors from the proceeds as well.
Some unpleasant comments are sometimes made regarding these nominal admission prices, yet the all of the above listed services just don't happen spontaneously by themselves, so please don't try to "shame" us with negative social media comments. Twenty bucks is a cheap date for potentially Friday night through Sunday afternoon.
The $20 covers parking (and camping if you desire) for the entire event, beginning on Friday afternoon, through Sunday. You will be given a ticket to display on your dash board. [ If Arriving Friday night March 15th, please call RiverDan for a ticket 215-850-6003 ] The ticket will be required to re-enter the area.
The gates will be open on Friday November 2nd. You may camp the additional Friday night if you are an early bird and arrive before the Fire Department Staff. In the morning you will be asked by Fire Department Personnel to purchase the ticket if you have obtained one from RiverDan earlier.
Please display the ticket on your dash to re-enter the area. Local paddlers, paddling club representatives, and the leadership of the Point Pleasant Fire Company have met to work through the parking issues of the last release. First and foremost, this communication is the product of those meetings. Please keep in mind that the parking fee is a fundraiser for the Point Pleasant Fire Company – an organization that serves the region with multiple services including river rescue.
Twice Per Year, water is released from the Nockamixon Dam for the purpose of providing white water boating within the Tohickon Creek. The Creek flows from Lake Nockamixon through the majestic cliffs and narrow waterways throughout Ralph Stover park (also known as "High Rocks").
