Here’s your opportunity to make a difference! Your participation is needed for our 25th annual KinniRiverCleanUp at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 27! Last year 170 volunteers showed that they care about the beauty and health of the Kinnickinnic River and we hope you will be part of an even larger turnout this year. To register, please click here now!

By Land
This is a wonderful way to explore the Kinni while collecting trash along its banks and making a difference to keep the Kinni cold, clean and free…forever!

By Water
If you’re an experienced paddler, you can also clean up the river by canoe or kayak. Kinni Creek  Lodge and Outfitters is again generously providing kayaks and transportation back to their facility for experienced kayakers.
