Fun on the River

Adopt-A-River Clean Up on April 18, 2009

The Adopt-a-River Program is part of the Department of Natural Resources' Trails and Waterways Division. This division specializes in providing access to the vast lands and waters of the state. As the division's stewardship specialists, the Adopt-a-River program challenges you to become personally involved in the care of our resources. The Adopt-a-River program, with a watershed approach, links public trails and floodplain areas into a common fabric: the watershed.


In cooperation with the MN DNR, Watergate Yacht Club has adopted one mile of river (1/2 mile on each side).  We walk the river shoreline to pick up trash and debris that harms the river and the environment.  This makes the river a better place to boat and improves water quality.
