Help Clean Up the South Platte River and Bike Paths April 23, 2011 (tentative) at Union Avenue Put In. The 4th annual South Platte River Cleanup was held Sunday, April 25th, 2010! This was an Earth Day event where volunteers picked up trash along the South Platte River and Bike Paths. This year’s event attracted 250 volunteer rafters, kayakers, cyclists and pedestrians. We successfully removed 1.5 TONS of garbage from the river and bike path. The event garnered local and regional media coverage on Fox News and 9 NewsTV channels, as well as appearing in the Denver Post newspaper. This was our largest turnout yet; we started at the Union Ave Put In, rafted, kayaked, biked and walked 6 miles of the S. Platte River and Bike Path finishing at Habitat Park. We are already planning for the 2011event; please contact the event coordinator: John Kahn, Confluence Kayaks, jkahn@confluencekayaks.com, 303-433-3676 for information about sponsorship, contribution information and details on how to get involved. 2011 Event (tentative) When: 4/23/11 Registration starts at 9 am Clean Up: 11 am - 3 pm After Party: 3 pm - 5 pm Raffle & Product Giveaways start at 4 pm Where: We will be starting at the Union Ave Put In, rafting, kayaking, biking and walking 6 miles of the S.
