Make a difference in the Nolin River Lake Community by participating in the Ninth Annual Lakeshore Clean-up Campaign, Saturday, September 23 rd from 8:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. It’s our duty to steward and preserve it, and educate the next generation. An excellent family activity where you and your children will have a ‘hands on’ opportunity to connect and make a difference. The clean-up campaign is designated an official National Public Lands Day Event.

This event is sponsored by The Friends of Nolin and coordinated in conjunction with The Corps of Engineers and Nolin River Lake State Park.
