23rd Annual Clackamas River Cleanup
Clackamas River Basin Council
Join CRBC for the 23rd annual cleanup in the lower Clackamas River! We Love Clean Rivers, and volunteers – like you!
What: The Clackamas Down the River Cleanup is the largest and longest-running on-water cleanup event of its kind in Oregon. After we clean the river, we gather at Barton Park for a BBQ celebration.
When: Saturday, September 12, 2026 from 9 am – 4 pm
Where: There are four sections to choose from (Milo McIver to Barton Park, Barton Park to Carver Park, Carver Park to Riverside Park, Riverside Park to Clackamette Park).
Why: More than a decade ago, an “explosion of trash” on the river was the impetus for the event. Trash on the river threatens not only the river’s scenic beauty, but it also harms fish and wildlife and impairs drinking water quality.
