Creek Week Cleanup with YRK
Saturday, March 21, 2026
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Anderson Building (WSSU campus)
Come out with Yadkin Riverkeeper for a cleanup of Salem Creek. Gloves, trash bags, and a limited number of trash grabbers will be provided. So bring your friends and meet us at the Anderson Building parking lot (WSSU campus)!
YRK Creek Week Paddle with the Town of Lewisville
Saturday, March 28, 2026
1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Old US 421 River Park
Come enjoy an early paddle on the Yadkin River with the Yadkin Riverkeeper and hosted by the Town of Lewisville. The section from Old 421 to Huntsville access is so close and yet feels so far away. Paddling it in the early spring is a great way to see further into the woods before the foliage cloaks the landscape. This easy paddling will have a few quick spots but leaves much time to enjoy the natural area so close to Winston-Salem and Lewisville.
Creek Week Moonlight Paddle with YRK at Salem Lake
Sunday, March 29, 2026
5:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Salem Lake Park
Join the Yadkin Riverkeeper staff at Salem Lake from 5pm to 9pm for a little paddling in the moonlight. Weather permitting, the moon will rise at 4:30p and the sun will set at 7:40p. While the moon won’t be full, it will have 90% luminance to make paddling in the evening a beautifully memorable experience. Twilight is an excellent time to catch nature’s nightshift start to stir. Gliding from the seat of a canoe or kayak gives you a vantage point that is more open than woods. Paddlers are encouraged to bring their own boats. Yadkin Riverkeeper will have a limited number of boats if you do not have your own.
