Kayaking for a Cause

Paddles hit the water with a purpose on September 20 as dozens of kayakers set out to do more than enjoy the Tallapoosa River – they came to clean it.

Renew Our Rivers launched its first official Tallapoosa River cleanup event, inviting paddlers to set out with a mission to clean up the riverbanks. Dropping in at the bridge near Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, participants made their way down the popular Harold Banks Canoe Trail to Jaybird Landing, collecting trash along the way.
