What's new??  There are a few new items to make your trip & stay here Better and Easier.

1. - Firewood bundles are available to purchase from the local deli in Point Pleasant
2. - FOOD TRUCKS! We will have Food Vendors On-site to provide you with Awesome Food Both Days. (Of course you can bring your own food too). UPDATE ON THE FOOD TRUCKS: WE MAY HAVE THEM HERE, YET THEY MAY NOT SHOW... (BEYOND OUR CONTROL). WE DO however, recommend The Kolbe Cafe in our Town, they make awesome sandwiches and Chili and soups, breakfast sandwiches

3. -  CHANGING ROOMS! For Getting out of your Kayaking Gear OR for Getting into it, we are providing rooms for just that. (Little bit nicer than changing out in the open...unless that's what you like).
4.  - As Before PORTA-POTTIES will be available to all.

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 -  Same as the past.
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 20, please pay in the morning when the fire department volunteers will be giving out tickets . The ticket will be required to re-enter the area.

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.

Something new this year! SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR KAYAKERS AND THEIR KAYAKS!!! 
This service is being provided by the Point Pleasant Community organization:

The Point Pleasant Community Association will be providing shuttle services for the Tohickon Dam Release
March 21st & 22nd.  

Shuttle will run from 9am-4pm on Sat & Sun. They are only asking for a $10 donation for unlimited daily shuttle or $15 for the weekend. There will be waterproof wristbands provided for ID, these wristbands can be purchased at a Table set up next to the River Country entrance path that leads to the parking/camping area.


​Shuttle will run from the River Country Parking/camping area.   Again, this is to minimize parking issues at the put in (Ralph Stover Park) so the shuttle will allow boaters to leave their cars at the take out and be shuttled up with boats & gear.

They will also be Raffling a brand New Pyranha Burn Kayak Shown below,
The raffle is ONLY $5 per ticket or 5 for $20. The boat will be on display at The Community Association Table, the same table where Shuttle service wristbands can be purchased. 

Drawing is noon on Sunday. You don't have to be present to win but the winner will need to pick it up. 

Bucks County River Country, has been providing a landing spot for the boaters when they have completed the ride FOR DECADES. We are literally at the end of the Tohickon Creek where it empties into the Delaware river in Point Pleasant. River Country also provides parking and camping for the boaters, and also permit vendors that sell relevant items such as Gloves, hats, paddles, underwear and such.
IF YOU ARE A VENDOR AND WISH TO SELL ITEMS, YOU MUST CHECK IN AND BEFORE YOU ARRIVE ( info@rivercountry.net )
