Clean Jordan Lake Shoreline
Clean Jordan Lake volunteers will do their part on March 16th in the annual Haw River Assembly’s Clean-Up-A-Thon. They will remove trash from a stretch of shoreline that extends from Poe’s Ridge Boat Ramp to the Jordan dam.
Volunteers should meet at 9am at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Visitor Assistance Center at the end of Jordan Dam Rd. The event will end at 1pm. Boaters, kayakers and walkers are all welcome.
Water, snacks, bags and gloves are provided. Prizes will be awarded in a trash treasure hunt for unusual items identified by Clean Jordan Lake staff in their pre-event survey.
Since formation in 2009, Clean Jordan Lake has attracted 2,000 volunteers to 47 cleanups that have resulted in removal of 7,000 bags of trash (about 70 tons) and 2,700 tires from 15 miles of shoreline.
Registration details are provided at www.meetup.com/helpcleanjordanlake.

All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
