White River Clean Up

The White River is the water resource backbone of Hamilton County, Indiana. It provides fishing, tubing, and boating opportunities, beautiful views from riverside trails, wildlife habitat, and a source for drinking water. Get on a canoe, grab some trash, and help keep our river clean. It's our community, it's our health, and it's our water.
