Bring your boat if you want to float or drag a stretch of this creek, that is a boatball mecca, to help clean it up on Saturday June 5th.

About 8 or so til 12 or so and then Food and Door Prizes.

Help support the West Fork Watershed Alliance and Beaver Lake Watershed Group and help keep our drinking water clean.


I will buy a Keg of Beer of Choice for whoever removes the metal bridge from this creek :beer:

Would love to help, especially considering my proximity, but I will be on the Mulberry helping some folks with disabilities get some river time. Again, anyone willing to loan or pilot a raft would be helpful.

x2 on the giant steel bridge that couldn't.

Better make it a plasma torch, U will see why when I post the pic. This bridge is worth some serious$$$ on the metal market.

Howard - I am glad you can make it, and I am glad it did not interfere with the other event on the Mulberry. Damn Droughts!!!

Oh Yeah -

If anyone would like to be a cleanup site leader, hang out at an ACC display, come to the cleanup to clean designated trash spots, or bring a boat to float or float/drag a stretch......

Bring it :beer:

It is from 8-11 with food and door prizes from 11 to 12 at the West Fork Riverside Park.

Ok - so the big bridge is being claimed by a landowner and some metal recovery folk, which means I can't spring for that keg for you there Jermdog.

But the cleanup is on tomorrow and if any one wants to float-drag either one of two 1.5 mile stretches just know that we can provide a shuttle person to get your shuttle set.


I encourage you to bring it on out if you are in town don't have much else to do and ever drink from or recreate on the West Fork.
