The Appalachian Paddling Enthusiasts are hosting the annual Nolichucky River
cleanup at Riverpark Campground (formerly Big Rock Campground) on
Saturday, July 12. Registration starts at 11:00 AM in the Gazebo.
Sign in and receive your trash bags and gloves donated by the Tennessee
Valley Authority. As in the past, we have support from Cherokee Adventures. Participants will be assigned into Clean Teams and provided maps of clean-up locations. There are plenty of clean-up opportunities of key areas for non-boaters
as well as areas designated for individuals with their own boats or rafts.
Our friends with the U.S. Forest Service will once again dispose of the
trash that is collected.
FREE FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT!!!!! After the clean-up, there will be food and live musicat the Riverpark Campground’s Pavilion. Bring a lawn chair, kick back with a cold one, and know that you did something good for the river we all enjoy so much.
WIN PRIZES FROM OUR SPONSORS!!!! During the entertainment, we will be drawing tickets for fantastic prizes. Prizes are being supplied by the following generous sponsors: Landmark Learning, Patagonia, Cherokee Adventures, Mahoney’s Outfitters, Alpine Ski Shop, Mountain Sports Ltd., Astral,
