What to expect:Â
This is a paddling cleanup in canoes.
Our trip will take place on the Cahaba River just upstream of the Highway 280 bridge. There is a low head dam downstream of the bridge that backs up the river for about 3.5 miles. This reservoir is the drinking water source for nearly 1,000,000 Alabamians, about 20% of the state.We’ll meet at the Highway 280 boat launch at 9:00 AM. Please park on the Target side (east side) of the Cahaba River — the same side as the boat launch. Morning traffic on the bridge can be hectic, and parking here avoids crossing the bridge. You’ll park along Cahaba River Rd — if you’re in the large gravel lot, you’re on the wrong side.
CRS will provide canoes, paddles, life jackets, grabbers, bags, and gloves. There is no charge for this trip. Folks are absolutely welcome and encouraged to head to the CRS website for donations to offset program costs to CRS.
After every Mom’s Basement Cleanup there will be an afterparty at Mom’s Basement with drink specials and prize giveaways for each participant! Details will be given at the cleanup.
What to bring:Â
- Water (at least 1 liter)
- Lunch
- Sunscreen
- Sun hat
- Close-toed shoes
You are welcome to bring a cooler for your water and lunch, but alcohol is prohibited.
