Paddle Sport Clean Up Party
For over 20 years and counting, the end of June has traditionally been a time to celebrate the end of black fly season and to do our good deed as paddlers and take part in the annual Saranac River Clean Up. With the COVID-19 and the concern of the safety of our staff and our paddling community, we have decided to do something different this year.
HOW DOES IT WORK: St Regis Canoe Outfitters, Adirondack Lakes & Trails Outfitters, Raquette River Outfitters, MAC's Canoe Livery, and the Northern Forest Canoe Trail would like your help with a little Spring cleaning at your favorite paddling spot. Here’s how it works….
- Stop by one of the sponsoring businesses and pick up a bag (or two).
- Go to your favorite paddling spot and enjoy some time on the water.
- Before, after, or during, pick up trash along the shore, in the water, and at the boat launch.
- Take a photo of you and your clean-up crew doing good work and share it with us through email, or share it on Facebook or Instagram and tag “Celebrate Paddling” and use the hashtag #celebratepaddlingcleanup
- If you have a place to dispose of your trash, great! If not, drop off your haul at one of the sponsoring locations.
All participants who have shared their success will receive a participation sticker to proudly display on the location of their choosing.
