White River Clean-Up
Set your worries aside, and enjoy some time in nature and on the water, all while cleaning up the river!
About the Clean-Up
The annual White River Clean-up has returned! Join us on Saturday, August 26th to paddle along the White River and pick up trash as you go. The City of Carmel, City of Fishers, City of Noblesville, the White River Alliance, White River Canoe Company, and Conner Prairie are teaming up to make sure we have a fun, safe, and successful clean-up. While this event is free, there is a $15 refundable deposit that will be returned to you. The deposit is non-refundable if you do not show up. We will provide gloves, trash grabbers, and tools to pull tires. Dumpsters will be available at the end of the float so that you can to properly dispose of the trash you collected.
