Our Rivers, Streams and Roadways are not your dumping grounds. Trust me, I catch you dumping and you'll wish the law caught you.

Just a public service announcement.

Summer is upon us and the weather is suitable for camping.
If you utilize one of the camping/fishing locations near the Irwin Bridge, be safe and have a good time. Please pick up after yourself and leave it better than you found it.
Too many people leaving their trash behind. Also a lot of idiots dumping. 😭
Thank you. Enjoy your Summer.
