    American River Cleanup @ The Pipe Bridge

    08:30 -11:30
    2025.07.31

    Hosted by River City Waterway Alliance

    1633 Dreher Street

    8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

     

    Due to a concerted effort by RCWA volunteers and Sacramento County Regional Parks, all the heaping piles of trash along the Sacramento Northern Bikeway Trail Bridge (the Pipe Bridge) are quickly vanishing! Nevertheless, there are still a few trashy spots left so we are headed back.

     

    We will focus on the steep, rocky river banks, where no one else will go. There will also be plenty of easy trash nearby for those not able to brave the steep banks. There should be something for everyone.  Sturdy footwear, long pants and long-sleeve shirts are highly recommended. This will be a difficult level event with a moderate walk.

     

    We have permission to park on top of the levee. At 8:15 am, we will form a caravan starting at 1633 Dreher Street (located off North 16th Street just before Capitol Casino) and drive in together. The gate will be closed and locked at 8:30 am sharp, so please be early.

     

    This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old. Minors older than 14 must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
