Raccoon Creek Clean Up

Date: 18 August 2024

Time: 0800 am until complete

Description: we will do our annual cleanup of Raccoon Creek Clean Up to prepare for our annual

Covered Bridge Festival Paddle which will also be Shirley Gates’ Memorial Paddle in October. I will need

a couple of individuals with chainsaws and several folks with a strong desire to get wet and dirty playing

in the river to make passages that are safe and navigable!

Plan: we will meet at the Cecil M. Harden Lake Out flow which is off Ferndale Road before you cross the

Raccoon Creek. The best way to get there is take US 36 to the intersection of State Road 59 in the town

of Bellmore, IN. Go south on ST Rd 59 from Bellmore to Ferndale Road and turn East and follow

Ferndale Road until you see the bridge going over Raccoon and we will be there. Please be there at 8am

so we can set up shuttle and get started.

Please RSVP by registering online at HCKC.
