DURING THE SPRING FLOOD
If the road to the boathouse is flooded, the Williston Northampton School and Northampton High bus drops rowers off at the head of the foot path through Arcadia Sanctuary. Students get to walk by the Great Blue Heron Rookery! This foot path is located on S. Park Terrace off Rt 10 (South St.) across from Cahillane Dodge. Be advised that S. Park Terrace has two left turns off South St. Please follow the path behind the street closest to Northampton. The foot path is NOT the dirt road off to the right, but a trail in the left corner.

Coaches will also shuttle rowers to and from the Oxbow Marina (this is not our preferred method of transportation--for safety reasons and gas consumption). Parents can pick rowers up from either of these locations. During the flood please know that rowers will be leaving the boathouse at 5:00. It will take about 30min to walk out to the road.
