- Parking Information - Please make sure you read this:
- The Corp of Engineers will enforce parking very strictly. Please make sure you follow all the signs and read them carefully.
- Make sure you pay your park entrance fee at the booth. Regardless if its manned or not. If you have a Corp pass you won't need to pay the park fee. If the booth is open they can sell you a year long Corp pass for all A.C.O.E. parks, for $40. I would recommend you buy a pass.
- Even if you come just for the weigh in you need to pay for the park fee and follow all rules.
- Do not park in the main parking lot unless you have a trailer attached to a vehicle.
- If you don't have a trailer attached then you must park in the lot located by the bathrooms.
- Do not park in a unmarked space or on the grass.
- The ticket for not following the Corps' parking procedures is around $300. They will write tickets.
