    Canaan July 21-22

    First time heading up to this track, what sort of amenities are there?

    I know camping opens at 7pm the night before. Are there showers? Decent bathrooms?

    Have they brought in electricity yet?

    Any food available at the track?

    There is a kitchen on site, I believe you can put in sandwich requests for lunch, they might have something available for breakfast?

    When I was there; nope. No power either.
    This info is over a year out of date.
    Doug was just up there last Penguin round and said everyone vanished shortly before dusk.

    There is food and gas 1.5 minutes down the road. There is a pizza/grinder shop there in the center of town, otherwise you've got to go a bit further.

    I've heard that there's a creek that borders track property that is....refreshing. Google Maps confirms it.

    Yes, there is a creek on property, and also a public town lake just down the road. We're hoping for showers in 2019, and the track manager has been pushing for it for sure. The place is a ton of fun, and worth the little dip in the creek on Saturday night.

    There are both port-a-potties and one indoor bathroom. The weather this coming weekend is supposed to be spectacular and this season finale up there is always a TON of fun. Definitely worth the trip!
