General Description
The Minnesota River is an important waterway in Minnesota that flows into the mighty Mississippi River. Unfortunately, it is also a massive waterway for trash and other junk to make its way downstream. That’s where you come in!
We will be cleaning up the shoreline as well as the bike path in between the I-35W Bridge and the Cedar Avenue Bridge. Enjoy the day by the banks of the river and help prepare one of our beautiful biking greenways for the season. Supplies will be provided.
