About
Hello Volunteers! We’d like to thank you for volunteering with Keep Austin Beautiful and Austin Rowing Club. You'll be working on giving some extra care to the lake and trails of our wonderful Lady Bird Lake after the 4th of July. You have signed up to participate in the Austin Rowing Club cleanup. Kayaks are available via waterway registration but if you are uncomfortable going out on the water, we'll have you focus on litter abatement along the hike & bike trail.
Your Lake Leader for this site will be Henry Andrastek with Austin Rowing Club and he will have your cleanup supplies, helpful safety guidelines, and further instructions for you.
Event Details
Starting Location: Austin Rowing Club (74 Trinity St, Austin, TX 78701)
Parking: Please note that there is no parking available at the boat house so you will need to find street side parking or a spot at the Convention Center Parking Garage, 201 East 2nd St. – with entrances on Brazos St and San Jacinto. (No cash accepted)
Things to Bring: A FULL bottle of water, a hat, & snack
“Know Before You Go”
Before you head out, please keep the following in mind:
- Be aware that toxic algae blooms can occur in Lady Bird Lake. Whenever you're around natural bodies of water, remain vigilant.
- Recognize that zebra mussels are invasive and widespread in Texas waterways. Let us know if you see any zebra mussels during your volunteer activity.
- Be able to identify poison ivy, oak, and sumac; identifying these plants is essential for a safe cleanup.
- Hydrate and take precautions to prevent heat-related illnesses. Consult this guide for tips on recognizing and addressing heat-related issues.
If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your shift at your earliest convenience to re-open those spots for registration.
Thanks again for being involved in making Austin such a unique and beautiful place to live and experience! See you on the lake!

Hi everyone! We will be moving the cleanup to Tuesday from 9-11. With the high winds that are coming in we won’t be able to safely get out on the water, so Tuesday is better for a cleanup! We hope to see everyone there!

Hello everyone! We are monitoring the incoming weather from Hurricane Beryl and are will send a message on here as soon as possible about moving the cleanup. There is a chance that we will be moving the cleanup to Tuesday morning. Thank you for your support!
