Tennessee RiverLine: Paducah-McCracken County

06/09/2026

🌊🗑️ A toilet seat, an incredible bird's nest, and a whole lot of community spirit.

Today's Four Rivers Clean Sweep was a great reminder of what can happen when people come together for a common purpose. We even had several volunteers register on-site and join the effort, helping us remove litter and make our riverfront a little cleaner for everyone.

A huge thank you to our partners: Kentucky Waterways Alliance, Tennessee RiverLine, Tennessee RiverLine: Paducah-McCracken County, Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) and all of the volunteers who spent part of their Saturday making a difference.

🌊 Paducah’s riverfront needs volunteers!

On Saturday, June 6, we’re inviting the community to help clean up litter along the downtown riverfront during the Four Rivers Clean Sweep!

This is a simple, hands-on way to take pride in our river city and care for the waterways that shape Paducah’s history, economy and everyday life.

Meet at the River Discovery Center, grab coffee and donuts, then head out with other volunteers to help make a visible difference along the riverfront.
