Kayak Litter Cleanup (Registration Required)

Help us remove trash from the bay from one of our kayaks!

Fishing and boating are some of the most popular recreational activities in Aransas County. That can result in a lot of trash, lures and fishing line washing up along the shoreline. Not to mention we just went through a tropical storm!

Join a ranger in one of our kayaks to help us clean up St. Charles Bay! We provide all equipment needed (kayak, paddles, PFD, trash bags and grabbers), however participants can provide their own kayak if they would like. Please notify us if you plan on bringing your own kayak. You can expect to spend about 1-2 hours on the water.

Age and Skill Recommendations: This program is recommended for those that are at least 8 years old. Minors must paddle with an adult in a tandem kayak. Some paddling experience is also recommended
