Parking for Equipment Loading and Unloading:

Renters are responsible for picking up /returning equipment during ORC scheduled hours of operation. As there are no designated spaces for long term ORC parking, renters must call the ORC to arrange large equipment (canoe, kayak, bulky equipment) pick-up / return in order to keep time to a minimum. Special arrangements for boating equipment pickup/return in the back
lot of Ramsey are possible. A pay lot adjacent to the East Campus Parking Deck is available for a nominal fee. The ORC is not responsible for any parking citation received by renters.
