Fall Creek Canoe Cleanup
October 4, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm EDT
Paddle with a Purpose: Fall Creek Canoe Cleanup
Date: Saturday, October 4, 2025
Meeting Location: 1021 Burdsal Parkway, Indianapolis, 46202
Time: 12:00pm – 4:30pm
Join us for a unique and impactful way to help keep the Fall Creek clean—from the water! Volunteers will paddle down Fall Creek, removing trash, debris, and illegal dumping along the way. This canoe-based cleanup is a great opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the river while making a difference for our environment and local wildlife.
This event requires participants to navigate the river by canoe while collecting debris. We encourage those who are comfortable canoeing to register. If you have experience paddling and can handle a few hours on the water, we’d love to have you join us.
Due to low water levels, there may be occasional walking and pulling the canoes through the creek.
