Tennessee River Rescue

Help us clean up Lookout and Black Creek in partnership with the Rotary Club and Tennessee American Water!

We are leading a volunteer-driven cleanup of Lookout Creek and Black Creek in partnership with our colleagues at the Tennessee River Rescue and we need your support!

Volunteers interested in getting on the water for hands-on creek cleanup are encouraged to bring their own kayak, canoe or paddle board for self use or to share. Those interested in staying on land will be directed to designated cleanup areas along stream banks and seasonal watersheds. 

For over 30 years, volunteers have banded together on land and water in an effort to clear plastic and other pollutants from our vital watershed. This project provides a hands-on, community-based volunteer experience for our community, building an interest for improving, restoring and protecting our watershed and freshwater resources.

Support from Chattanooga Downtown Rotary and Tennessee American Water has helped make this cleanup effort a reality.

As an outdoor facility, our programs and events are almost always dependent on the weather. In the event of severe weather, programs may be postponed or cancelled.
