Kenton County Parks & Recreation will hold a clean-up event at Doe Run Lake near Covington off KY-17.

The event is part of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission’s annual Ohio River Sweep, which sees similar events all along banks of the river between March and October.

According to a recent department press release, clean-up supplies, including garbage bags and gloves, will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own hiking boots and kayaks if they have them.

Volunteers are not required to register beforehand, but they are encouraged to do so at the county’s online sign-up page. Anyone who has court-mandated community service hours is welcome to attend.

For more information about Kenton County events, visit the county’s webpage, and feel free to follow Kenton County Parks & Recreation on Facebook. The event is scheduled for March 25 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
