Mapping Our Cleanup Progress
As of January 1, 2013, nearly 15 miles of critical shoreline cleaned at southern end of lake
- Nearly 15 miles of shoreline along the Haw River Arm and south of New Hope Overlook on East side of lake have been cleaned. We estimate less than 10 miles more of shoreline to get rid of a 30-year legacy trash dating back to when the lake was filled.
- Trash from recreational use at points accessible by foot from nearby roads. Eight areas of shoreline that are heavily used for recreation (all outside of the Jordan Lake State Recreation Area) from south to north along the lake have been cleaned at least once. Our hope is that the Adopt-A-Shoreline Program will help to keep clean these and other recreational use areas that volunteer group may adopt.
