As you approach a sign for the Rocketts Landing LLC (on right) at the intersection of Nicholson (on the left) and Water Street/Dock Street on the right (river side), take a hard right downhill onto Water/Dock Street toward the Intermediate Terminal.
At the base of the hill, take a LEFT, cross the parking area of the Intermediate Terminal and head parallel to the river straight into Rocketts Landing. We will be parking trailers consecutively, PERPENDICULAR to the railroad tracks, in the parking area adjacent to the VBC Boat House.

Dock Street will run right into the Intermediate Terminal Parking Lot area. Take slight right onto paved & sanded driveway…VBC members will be assisting trailer parking.
CAR-TOPPED SINGLES AND DOUBLES
We will reserve parking on Old East Main Street for Car-topping registrants. You should park perpendicular to the old power station on Old East Main Street. Off-load from the street and take the stairs on the upriver side of the power station (on the right of the power station when you are facing it) down to the staging area.
