2025 GWCU Corvallis: Crystal Lake to Michael's Landing (On Water Cleanup – Seat in Raft or BYOB)

On October 4th, volunteers across Oregon will unite for the Great Willamette Cleanup, with sites stretching from the river’s headwaters to its confluence with the Columbia. Pick the spot closest to your heart and Get Dirty for Good alongside neighbors, families, and fellow river lovers. Every bag of trash collected and every shoreline restored adds to a healthier, more resilient Willamette River.

WHAT: Join Willamette Riverkeeper and the City of Corvallis for a paddling cleanup effort from Crystal Lake to Michael's Landing, including the area within Marys River confluence as time allows. Bring your own boat, or save a seat on our raft or in one of our inflatable kayaks. Afterwards, enjoy a Volunteer Thank You Party at 1:30PM at Common Fields in Corvallis.


WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 9AM - 12:30PM

Please meet at the Willamette Boat Ramp next to the Crystal Lake Sports Fields. We will unload boats and gear, and organize a self-shuttle.


DETAILS: Please be on time! We will aim to get on the water by 9:30AM beginning with a safety briefing and clean up plan before heading out. Please dress for the weather and getting wet, bring water, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. Willamette Riverkeeper will provide trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers. PFDs are required and must be worn at all times on the river to participate in this event. Minors 12-17 are also welcome to join this event if they will be accompanied by an adult in their boat who is responsible for the minor and is authorized to sign their participation waiver.


BYOB? Please be proficient paddling in moving water for this event and always be aware of high water currents.
