CRK does a great job coordinating this event – largest volunteer turnout in MCP. Sadly, we’ll also count the number of tires, as there always seems to be some.

Fun Fact: MCPC participates in the CRK Neighborhood Water Watch EVERY week, where our inflow & spillway of MCP Lake are tested for E.coli.
Datapage: https://nww.chattahoochee.org/DataPage - look for:
1- North Fork above Murphey Candler Park lake
2- Nancy Creek at W Nancy Creek Dr
