Haw River Clean Up (Self-Guided / Free)

It takes of a village, to keep a village. We provide our esteemed volunteers a free canoe rental, along with gloves & trash bags. You’ll have fun paddling and a bit of a workout. Most importantly, you’ll be helping in the restoration of the Haw River’s natural beauty & health.

We donate the canoe rentals and just ask that each guest fill one large trash bag. This is an out-and-back trip starting dockside at the gorgeous, peaceful, nature-filled stretch of the Haw that locals refer to as Sax Lake.
