White River Canoe Cleanup
October 18, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm EDT
Paddle with a Purpose: White River Canoe Cleanup
Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025
Meeting Location: Newfields 100 Acres Park (1850 W 38th St, Indianapolis, IN 46208)
Time: 12:00pm – 4:30pm
Join us for a unique and impactful way to help keep the White River clean—from the water! Volunteers will paddle down the White River, 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.
