South Jersey via Ben Franklin Bridge

South Jersey via Walt Whitman Bridge:
Take the Atlantic City Expressway to NJ-42N, then I76-W to the Walt Whitman Bridge. Stay on I76-W, exit right on 340A LINCOLN DR / KELLY DR. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp and IMMEDIATELY get into the far left lane for the Kelly Drive South/East River Drive exit.  Be very careful...this is a tight, descending curve...especially if you are towing a boat trailer! Continue on Kelly Drive in the right lane.  Go through four traffic lights, you will see the Fairmount Park Police road barrier at the race entrance. Display your Parking Pass and proceed slowly.

Flick Race Area/Parking

The first building on the right is the Canoe Club (bathrooms...BYO toilet paper), which is near the race start line and where all out-of-town crews launch (except for Dad Vails & Stotesbury). DO NOT PARK HERE! Continue past this area to the HSHS white tents; angle park tightly to allow for maximum parking capacity; do not park on the grass!

Dad Vails OR Stotesbury Parking

Continue past the Canoe Club another 3/4 mile to the Athlete's Village near the Three Angels OR continue two miles on Kelly Drive to Boathouse Row and Regatta Headquarters at #4 Boathouse Row.

How do I get out of here?

About 20 minutes after the last race, the police will announce that all cars must leave or be towed off Kelly Drive to a nearby parking area (they may tow, but don't typically ticket).  Exit race area towards finish line, one way traffic only.  When you pass Boathouse Row, get in the center lane. Bear left into the Art Museum circle, then immediately right to the 676/Benjamin Franklin Bridge exit, which puts you on Vine Street.  After you cross the Ben Franklin bridge, bear right and take the Atlantic City/Walt Whitman Bridge exit.  Follow NJ-42 to the Atlantic City Expressway.
