Delaware River
Clean up
The NPS hosts an On
The Water Clean-up Day for the Delaware River once a year. 32 miles of the
Delaware are cleaned in 8 mi sections, from two access points; Smithfield Beach
and Dingmans This is a no cost event to you except for your transportation,
lunch and personal items. Everything is provided for your day on the river,
i.e., canoe, life vest, garbage bag, bus shuttle, safety talk, etc. Sign-in
starts around 8AM, and we should be on the water by 10AM. We spend about 3-4
hours on the river. To participate for this event YOU MUST REGISTER with the PARK SERVICE. They want info, such as,
number of people, ages and access point you want to show up at. At this time I
do not have the Park Service POC for the event, so please send me your e-mail if interested, I will make a list and
send out the info when I get it – this may not be until July 10th, it is the
government you know.
