The Muskegon County Water Festival is an exciting outdoor learning experience created especially for 3rd grade students. Each year, classes from across the county come together to explore the wonders of our local water resources—from Muskegon Lake to the streams, wetlands, and forests that support our community.

This free, hands-on festival introduces students to water quality, aquatic life, and the many ways people and nature interact with water.

If you are an educator interested in signing up your 3rd grade class please contact the District.

Great Lakes Beach Cleanup at Pioneer Park
Join the Muskegon Conservation District, Muskegon County Parks, Alliance for the Great Lakes, and Sea Michigan for a Great Lakes Action beach cleanup!

September 11
1:30–3:00 PM
Pioneer Park 1563 N Scenic Dr, Muskegon, MI 49445
Meet across from the lodge at the small picnic pavilion

As part of the International Coastal Cleanup, thousands of Adopt-a-Beach volunteers around the Great Lakes and around the world will come together to care for their local shorelines. We’ll be working together to clean up the beach and surrounding areas at Pioneer Park.

Community Science
This cleanup is also an opportunity to participate in community science! Volunteers will help collect information about the types and amounts of litter found along the shoreline. This data helps researchers and organizations better understand Great Lakes pollution and identify ways to protect our beaches and waterways.

What to Know
Rain or shine: We will meet unless there is severe weather.

All cleanup supplies will be provided.

Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes.

Be prepared for steps leading down to the beach and rugged trails.

When entering the park, please let park staff know you are volunteering for the beach cleanup.

Come join us for an afternoon of community, conservation, and science while helping protect our Great Lakes! Every piece of litter we remove—and every piece of information we collect—helps make a difference.
