Green Lake Crew

With junior crew growing in popularity throughout the region, the Parks Department in 1984 created the Rowing Advisory Council (RAC) as the focal point of volunteer efforts to support GLC.

The Spring Regatta is traditionally the year's first major rowing event in the region, with as many as 1,200 junior and masters athletes of all ages competing.

With its protected water and diverse inventory of rowing equipment, Green Lake also routinely figures prominently in the development and selection of the country's premier junior rowers.

Green Lake regularly hosts summer “development camps” that serve as the vehicle from which Northwest junior athletes are groomed for further participation on a national level.

This crew not only won a gold medal in this event, but subsequently represented the United States at the Pan American Games in São Paulo, Brazil, where they rowed home first in that competition as well.
