For the 39th consecutive year, USACE is partnering with Friends of Barren River Lake & Park to host the Trashmasters Classic Lakeshore Cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 19th. This is your opportunity to have some fun while making a difference at the lake you love. 💚

Report to one of the listed boat ramps at 8 a.m. and spend the morning picking up trash from your public lands. At 11:30 a.m., join us at Quarry Road Recreation Area for a complimentary lunch and prize giveaways, provided by Friends of Barren River Lake & Park.

Pre-registration is only required for large groups or groups with children. Please give us a call with any questions or to register your group today!

📋 Save time and bring your pre-filled volunteer forms with you. Volunteer forms are required for each person and can be downloaded at www.Friendsofbarrenriverlake.com. Please note all children under 18 must have a form signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Help us keep Barren River Lake beautiful! Hope to see you there! 🌊🌳
