An event that has been going on for more than 20 years, volunteers have typically cleaned the canal, as well as the shorelines on all three ponds of the lake.
Members of both organizations noted that this is open to the public and they’re encouraging anyone in the community to come help on June 2.
“We look forward to having anyone help us,” said Janeen Crane, who is a member of the CRC. “We appreciate any of those boaters and fisherman to come and help us clean up the lake too.”
In the past, people have shown up with kayaks, canoes, and boats to help with the cleanup. Dick Grannells, Chairman of the Lake Management Committee, acknowledges the importance of having as many volunteers as possible.
“Let’s get as many miles of shoreline done,” said Grannells. “You don’t want junk on the shores where people swim.”
