Itinerary:

Little River Cleanup

Please come join us for a land based river clean-up at Olde Rope Mill Park in Woodstock. We'll be joining forces with the Upper Etowah River Alliance.

Olde Rope Mill Park is actually home to some amazing bike/hike trails. The park lies on the banks of Little River, which offers kayak/canoe opportunities and as well as a pathway to Toonigh falls, Blankets Creek and Lake Alltatoona. Let's protect it's beauty.

So if you join me, which I hope you do, we'll meet by the pavillion at Olde Rope Mill Park. We'll clean up the park by land.

(If you want to bring a canoe/kayak, feel free, but I can't guarantee the water levels will be permitting this time of year)

There's plenty of FREE parking. If you can't find parking down in bottom lots, there's a huge parking area across from Kia dealership that you pass on the way down to the park. It's not a far walk.

This event is sponsored by the following organizations:
Upper Etowah River Alliance

You need only register on this site.

Gloves and trash bags will be provided by the event sponsors, but if you prefer to bring your own gloves, please do so. Thick garden gloves or heavy work gloves work really well when you are collecting the bigger items such as tires.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Complementary Rivers Alive t-shirts will be available while supplies last. Join us - at the park!
