The 12th Annual Green River Spring Cleaning is on for Saturday April 9th! Let's clean her up! Huge thanks to MountainTrue for the support of the event!

We'll be meeting at Fishtop access starting at 10 AM to hand out trash bags and organize groups for different sections including a walking team on the lower. You are welcome to organize your own crew.

There will be a dumpster at Fishtop to deposit trash, and we'll have some trucks running down Green River Cove Road to pick up anything left on the roadside. We can help you get connected at the parking lot Saturday morning.

Our guess is that flows will be 150% for the morning and back up to 2 Units from 1 PM on, which means levels will be around 12' or 13" until 1:30pm on the upper. 3pm in the narrows, and 5ish on the lower. At that point it will start to rise up to around 16-18" would be a guess. Check for updates here: https://greenrivernc.com/

Weather is looking good with highs near 65 degrees. Be safe and stay warm. We'll try to have a little beer, fire, and prizes afterwards!

Green River Spring Cleaning is on for this Saturday! For obvious reasons, we'll need to take additional precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy this year. Please wear your masks in parking lots and anytime you can't maintain 6 feet of distance, avoiding paddling in large groups, and shuttle with household groups.

We are not providing boats or leading a group on the water, so please organize your own group and shuttle logistics. We'll be set up under a canopy tent at Fishtop starting at 10 AM to hand out trash bags and gloves for those that want or need them. There will be a dumpster at Fishtop to deposit trash, and we'll have some trucks running down Green River Cove Road to pick up anything left on the roadside. There will be some beer and coupons from Hi-Wire, so please do stop by!

Many are tackling the Lower Green, which is great, it needs your attention. Some have signed up for the Upper, Narrows, or roadside. If you are looking for a group we can help you get connected at the parking lot Saturday morning.

Flow for Saturday is currently forecasted for a 2 Unit release from midnight to 6AM, dropping to 1-1/2 Unit from 6AM to 1PM, back up to 2 Units from 1 PM on, which means levels will be around 12 or 13" until 1:30pm on the upper. 3pm in the narrows, and 4:30ish on the lower. At that point it will start to rise up to around 16-18" would be a guess. Check for updates here: http://carolinalakelevels.com/index.php/lake-summit-water-levels

Weather is looking wet with possible thunder and a high of 65 degrees. Be safe and stay warm.

Use the hashtags or and tag Green Riverkeeper and Benedict in your social media posts with photos of your haul. We'll judge the entries and send prizes to the best, biggest, weirdest, and most trash finds. Show us what you got!

See you out there!
