I’ll be at the Cleanup and the Celebration. See you there!
I’ll be at both the cleanup and celebration.
Three of us will be attending the river cleanup on the 7th. Looking forward to it.
SEE YOU THERE FOR A GREAT PADDLING CLEANUP and AFTERPARTY SPONSORED BY BAREFOOT WINE!!!
My mom and I will be able to attend the Cleanup.
I’ll, hopefully, see everyone at both.
I recommend shoes you don’t mind getting wet. Running shoes or Tevas are fine. We have 16 spots for canoes and 3-4 stand up paddleboards. Some people will be hiking up the river and cleaning up at the park. Others will shuttle to the put-in spot at Cochran Shoals and float down to Paces Mill Park. The weather looks like it will clear up for the morning. We will have water, coffee, and doughnuts available at the sign-in table. The event starts at 9am. If you want to canoe, you need to be on time to catch the shuttle to the put-in spot. Otherwise, you can come when able.
