After the cleanup, a Celebration with lunch and entertainment will be available.

This event provides citizens an opportunity to ‘Make a Difference’ by picking up trash and litter and to explore one of the last remaining public natural areas in Kenton County. Help friends and neighbors make a difference!

Come for the whole day or just part of the day! Rubber gloves and trash bags will be provided. Wear boots or old shoes and old clothes. It will be messy! Volunteers will collect and remove everything that should not be found in a County park, including trash, construction debris, automobile and truck tires, old fishing line, and an odd assortment of other objects not usually associated with nature and the outdoors.

There will be a restroom available.

There will be a ‘Most Unusual Find’ contest again this year. One year, it was a bowling ball; another year, it was two halves of an electric guitar!

Need community service hours? Rhonda Ritzi, the Recreation Coordinator, will be happy to sign any paperwork.

Doe Run Lake is located at 1501 Bullock Pen Rd., Covington.

Take the Covington/Independence (Exit 80) off I-275. Go south (away from Covington and under I-275) on KY 17 (Madison Pike) about one mile. Follow the signs.

Volunteers should meet in the parking area near the boat launch. For additional information, please call 859-525-PLAY (7529).
