Flat Creek and Table Rock Lake Arm Clean Up – May 3rd
PaddlingCenter.com at: Flat Creek Resort, Hwy 173 N. Cape Fair MO- 417-538-4848
Who: PaddlingCenter.com and Table Rock Lake Water Quality, Inc.
What: “Special Table Rock Lake Clean Up”
Where: Flat Creek Arm of Table Rock Lake, Hwy 173 Bridge at PaddlingCenter.com
When: Saturday, May 3RD, 2008
Why: Resulting concentrated debris from high water to be picked up in the Flat Creek Watershed and headwaters of Table Rock Lake.
The Table Rock Lake Water Quality Inc, “Area Wide Clean up” has been postponed due to high water, but PaddlingCenter.com will continue with the May 3rd schedule date.
The Flat Creek watershed has also flooded with the Rising Table Rock Lake Levels in the last few weeks, carrying a lot of debris, bottles, cans, and paper trash down the river and deposited it in the headwaters of Table Rock Lake. We have a good opportunity from canoe, kayak, motor boat, wading, and land to pick up the trash, some in concentrated areas. Bring your canoe or kayak, motor boat, or you can clean from shore. Also bring gloves, waders, sunglasses, sun screen, and your lunch. You will get dirty, for the benefit of all.
We will meet from 7:00 am to 9:00 am on Saturday, May 3rd at PaddlingCenter.com. Table Rock Lake Water Quality, Inc. will provide trash dumpsters and assistance for the refuse. The dumpsters will be located at the south side of the Highway 173 Bridge, across from PaddlingCenter.com. A second dumpster will be located at the EE Highway / Flat Creek Bridge at the Missouri Department of Conservation access. Shuttle rides, canoeists and kayakers, motor boat, and walking support are needed. We have an opportunity to let folks participate that had planned on the lake wide clean up, as our area at the top of the watershed is in bad need now and we have ways of getting to the areas. Any level of participation here will affect the entire lake and water quality for some time.
Hot Dogs and Soft drinks will be available from 4pm to 6 pm for the Cleaning Volunteers by Kayakers Bistro Restaurant located within the PaddlingCenter.com facility.
For additional questions or map directions, go to PaddlingCenter.com or call 417-538-4848
Rain Out Date is scheduled for Saturday May 10th – Dress accordingly – Be Safe. Thanks from all of us!

Read here in China. Really proud of your efforts! I, as a Galena youth, use to really look forward to James River flood waters backing Flat Creek up;making it a dandy spot for a dip in the clearest of waters! 'course,'twas 'fore Table Rock was built
