Lake Maumelle Cleanup Rescheduled for March 14
Due to last week’s weather, our friends at Central Arkansas Water (CAW) have postponed the annual Lake Maumelle Cleanup by one week. The event will now take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at WestRock Landing.
If you missed the first date, this is a great second chance to join the effort to help keep Lake Maumelle clean and healthy for everyone who enjoys the water.
Volunteers will spread out around the lake from 9:00 AM until noon, collecting trash along the shoreline and nearby coves. After the cleanup, everyone will gather back at WestRock Landing for lunch and raffle prizes as a thank-you for participating.
Boats Not Required
You do not need a boat to help. Volunteers can assist from the shoreline, and there will also be boats available for those who would like to help from the water.
If you bring your own boat, there’s an added benefit—there is no launch fee for the day. Clean up in the morning, drop off your trash, enjoy lunch, and you’re free to stay and enjoy the lake afterward.
What to Bring
If helping from a boat
-
Life jacket (some will be available)
-
Gloves (some provided)
-
Muck boots
-
Hat, sunscreen, bug spray, or a rain jacket
If helping from shore
-
Sturdy shoes or muck boots
-
Gloves (provided if needed)
-
Hat, sunscreen, bug spray, or a rain jacket
As sailors, we’re fortunate to call Lake Maumelle home. Pitching in for the annual cleanup is one small way we help care for the lake that gives us so many great sailing days.
