Working with Michigan Waterways Stewards
River Town Adventures is proud to support the work of Michigan Waterways Stewards, a community organization focused on reducing litter and improving Michigan's waterways and adjacent greenways. Their Lansing-area projects bring paddlers, volunteers, nonprofits, public agencies, and neighbors together around the rivers.
We will use this page to help our guests find cleanup dates, learn how to participate, and understand that enjoying the river also means taking care of it.
Ways to help
- Join a scheduled river or trail cleanup.
- Pack out everything you bring to the water.
- Report dangerous debris or changing access conditions.
- Share a stewardship story or cleanup photo with us.
