We want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible cleanup crews who worked tirelessly today to leave the Buckeye Lake region spotless! You honestly can't even tell that thousands of people gathered here just hours ago, enjoying the beautiful scenery and community spirit!

We're so grateful for the partnership with Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Water's Edge Community Center, First Community Church, Lieb's Island Civic Association, and Bike Buckeye Lake who all came together to make this cleanup a success.
