Join Pocahontas State Park staff and volunteers in helping keep Swift Creek Lake and the area watershed clean. We will be collecting trash from Swift Creek Lake, as well as the surrounding shoreline and woods.

You are welcome to bring your own canoe or kayak or use one of the park's (limited availability, prior boating experience necessary). If you prefer to stay on land, volunteers may pick up trash on nearby shoreline and trails surrounding the lake.

A brief talk about the impact of trash on the environment will be presented prior to the clean-up. Please wear appropriate clothing and bring water to drink. The park will provide trash bags and gloves.

A family friendly event, small prizes will be given out for different categories of trash such as the most trash, the weirdest piece, and the heaviest item.
